New Orleans, Louisiana, 1960s

While the above postcard photo, which we came across on Ryan Khatam’s Flickr stream, doesn’t scream out New Orleans, for some reason the modern-day street view of Canal Street looking north does. Maybe it’s the lack of change for change’s sake apparent in the distance of decades. Maybe it’s the all-grown-up palms making the street seem a little less wide open. Or maybe it’s the greater focus on tourism in the modern scene. What do you see here?
