Great Places in the Big Easy
New Orleans is graced by three Great Places in America: Jackson Square — an inviting public space at the city's heart; the beautiful, walkable Faubourg Marigny neighborhood; and St. Charles Avenue, an oak-shaded arterial whose picturesque streetcar links downtown New Orleans with the Garden District and beyond.
Suggest a great public space, street, or neighborhood in your community for designation as one of this year's Great Places in America. Nominations are welcome through April 25.
