Explore New Orleans, LA

After a shift, travelers in New Orleans, LA often catch the St. Charles Avenue streetcar through the Garden District or wander the French Quarter for a meal. The work runs through imaging, lab, and physical-therapy sites scattered across a metro built between the river and the lake. I-10 is the main line, carrying commuters in from Metairie and Kenner to the west, where a good deal of the easier housing sits near the airport. The Causeway crosses Lake Pontchartrain north to Mandeville, while the Crescent City Connection links the West Bank south of the river. Summer heat, humidity, and an active hurricane season all factor into a contract here. Which side of the water a traveler lands on tends to set the daily commute more than anything else.
