Our lodgings this evening happened to be right across the street from the Lone Star/Tri-City Corvette Club's 28th annual show. Quite the impressive gathering of all different versions of America's Sport's Car, including several of our favorite, the mid-60s Stingray.
The "old" State Capitol in Baton Rouge tops the list of things to see, and justly so. The castle-inspired building with it's fantastic stained-glass ceiling dome and the classic spiral staircase up to the mezzanine are breathtaking.
Just as impressive to TSG (unsurprisingly) is the massive live oak out on the front lawn
Strolling down Dumaine Street this morning, just wandering around looking for photo ops, saw this:
A little further googling revealed the building was originally built in 1820 by John Fritz Miller to house his family and the law practice of Christian Rosaleus, the future founder of Tulane University School of Law,
Since then, it was converted to a hotel with the "you can't make this up" nickname, The Biscuit Palace.
The Biscuit Palace closed after a fire in 2019 and has since been renovated and reopened as a boutique "luxury guesthouse", The French Quarter Mansion
Another featured attraction(?) at the Pensacola Museum of History is the famous(?) "Petrified Cat". Visitors get to see two versions of the mummified meower--both the original and the laser-scanned 3D replica. What a treat!
...is a cool exhibit featuring vintage postcards at the city's history museum. Right up our alley, as it were.
