Probably only Mardi gras tokens there.
 

I do have a story coming up for New Orleans, haunted house and buried treasure. Real ghost so the treasure has to be there.
 

I was down in the Big Easy for work in September of 2017 and the street was tore up then, right down the middle for about 2 blocks. It made staggering around very dangerous and we finally had to go back to canal street to our hotel to get hammered properly. However, I did get to have a bowl of my favorite red beans and rice..............ahhhh, that’s all I got now..........................I’ll be back.

Yea a Few weeks ago they were Digging down to Plumbing,
then refilling and Capping their Holes.
The streets Looked a Mess. My first thought was
they should Recap the Whole Thing !

Looks about right, when I was there it looked like they were replacing water mains, there were 5’ wide open trenches that produced a “unique” aroma and would have really hated to fall in one as they had what used to be water at the bottom.
 

They would never let you detect in there, but I know there’s serious history below that cobblestone.
