Subj : Re: Children of... To : Roger Nelson From : Marc Lewis Date : Fri Jun 23 2017 13:04:54 Hello Roger.

MANY things WERE markedly better, and many were MUCH worse ML> than now. I do miss milk in glass bottles and nickel Cokes. RN> I'm older. (-: RN> NOPSI in our day would have the Germans jealous. To clarify for non-New Orleanians reading, NOPSI was New Orleans Public Service, Inc., a private, for-profit, public utility company exclusively serving the metro area of Orleans Parish with lights, natural gas and public transportation. At one time, their bus service had the most daily runs per line of any other city in the USA, save New York's subway system. There is actually a new hotel that's about to open in New Orleans called "NOPSI", but it's not yet been unveiled to the public. It, fittingly enough is located in the old NOPSI main building at 317 Baronne Street in downtown New Orleans. You can bet on one thing, it won't be cheap. :-) A side note: The Regional Transit Authority took over the transportation in New Orleans and for the last decade and a half have been intensively restoring and renovating the Perley Thomas street cars. The craftsmen are doing an awesome job that includes manufacturing from scratch many parts that have been obsolete for MANY years. Worth a trip to New Orleans just to ride them.
