PORCH CRAWL

June 12, 2014 by Charlie London

porch-logoRobert Grove said in The Advocate:

“This year’s Porch Crawl featured six beautiful homes and porches, all within easy walking distance of each other. At every stop on the tour, patrons enjoyed food from area restaurants and assorted libations to wash it all down with.”

Melinda Shelton had this to say about the upcoming Porch Crawl:
While summertime heats up, it doesn’t mean life in New Orleans slows down. After all, we live in the city that gave the world cocktails, so certainly we know how to concoct ways to enjoy life—high humidity and all. One of the most popular events is the Porch Crawl, which the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association hosts every summer. The slogan is a masterpiece: “Here in New Orleans, we don’t hide crazy; we parade it on the front porch and give it a cocktail.”

Proceeds will be used to buy swings for Desmare playground.
