Q&A Show

Today’s episode is a question and answer show where we answer questions from listeners like you.

The Historic New Orleans Collection

Support comes from The Historic New Orleans Collection, the city’s premiere history museum, located at five twenty Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

There, you’ll get to explore three centuries of great New Orleans stories in some of our most historic spaces—and admission is free.

Don’t miss the immersive film about the history of the French Quarter at night, or any of the museum’s changing exhibitions in the brand new Tricentennial Wing. Go to HNOC.org/Visit to plan your trip.

Liz Wood

The most frequent questions I get are about moving to New Orleans. If you are ready to make the move, you need a good realtor.

That’s where Liz Wood comes in.

Let Liz and her team over at Liz Wood Realty help you find the right place. They can help whether you plan to rent or purchase

Liz makes the process fun and easy. Reach out to Liz at lizwoodrealty.com and make your dream of living in New Orleans a reality.

Tommy Manzella At Gulf Coast Mortgage.

While you are working with Liz you need to secure financing. Reach out to Tommy at Gulf Coast and let him help you get everything in place. That’s what we did on our recent refi and it was as smooth as could be. Links in the show notes. Tommy Manzella at Gulf Coast Bank
