Ten seconds in, I hear the music and see the car...LIKE! My next road trip will be to New Iberia ! You have a very nice voice, btw. You should be singing in a Jazz band.
The Essanee is pronounced “S an E”, which was a movie theater, but has been converted to live performances, hence Broadway on the Bayou. The summer I painted the mural in the Steamboat pavilion, the skateboard practice area in the park was closed for repairs. The city lifted the ban on skateboarding in the pavilion, so I included the kids skateboarding on the side of the Essanee in the mural. They were terrific and gave me all kinds of encouragement. I should also say that the local Girl Scouts arranged for the mural and offered tons of ideas as the mural evolved. The Berry is a colorful city with energetic, happy, creative people, most of which are living life to the fullest.
@@JettRink5131947 oh thanks for the clarification, and thank you for all that cool info! Love your handle name, by the way.. I'm a huge James Dean fan 😎 Thanks for watching!
We just had our Cajun country Paracon at the Theatre and Museum. Victors Cafe is 100 years old and the best breakfast I have ever had. We spent 3 days there filming in 8 locations. Also check out Crowley Louisiana not far from there. Some really cool old buildings.
The city removed all the parking meters decades ago and made a parking lot downtown to make the area friendly to shoppers. Victor's Cafe closed last week after being in business for many decades. They had the best crawfish pies and other authentic local dishes that could only be found in the kitchens of some of NOLAs best restraunts. Duffy's is the local diner that I always visit.

I like that the plaques are all in 3 languages, English, French and Spanish, very fitting given the history of Louisiana.

@@sonystoys well thank you so very much! I really enjoyed this vlog myself, it was fun to film. Thanks for watching and subscribing ❤️ stay in touch!
Essanee used to be the local movie theatre back in the 80s I used to watch movies there as a child. In my 50s now.
It definitely caught my eye, so maybe I could do a vlog on it one day!

Hey Matt, Great vid! My fav was the 1858 church, just beautiful....Thanks for sharing.
It is beautiful indeed!
Compared to old footage it hasn't changed that much.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check out Crowley, and also try the breakfast at Victor's. Thanks so much for watching!
@@travelwithoutacause Very welcome, make sure you get the hash potatoes at Victors. Happy Filming!

I saw that Victor's closed, that's unfortunate 😔. I love Duffy's, great Americana menu and atmosphere!
Iberia means Spain, as in Iberian peninsula where Spain and Portugal are.
@@jamesr1703 very interesting, thanks for that!
New Iberia Spanish Festival will held next month.There will be Delegation from Spain visiting the Festival.
Awesome, and thank you for the info! I might have to check that one out.. I'll put it on the list! Thanks for watching 😎
Great video. Really enjoy your work.
Hey thanks Chris! Much appreciated brother 😎
Don’t worry skateboarders have never listened to that sign. Some crazy tricks have gone down there over the years.
😂 that's great to know! Thanks for watching!
I know St Peter's Catholic Church have been to Mass many times there over the years.
I need to go experience a Mass there
