New Orleans history at http://www.NotesonNewOrleans.net - As this well-made MGM documentary shows, really not much has changed in New Orleans since the 1940s. The buildings shown in this vid are still standing and the Huey P. Long bridge is getting a makeover. There are a few more tall buildings on the skylne. There is one historical error in this video though. Canal Street was never a canal. It was supposed to be a canal but it was never built. But the name stuck. Huey Long's house is still there, I personally know the owners. http://youtu.be/E-0iKYQBUB8
