Hello ya´ll and welcome in the deep south !

This city is inspired by late 20th century New Orleans, Louisiana.

My deceased partner and me build and run this wonderful place for about 12 years now. We truely love it and call it a home.

We didn´t do a 100 % RL copy, we tried more to catch the spirit. And as many of our RL NOLA resident visitors, and our long time residents told us ... we nailed it.

I appreciate the advice. I'm not looking to roleplay, though. Just live somewhere beautiful with neighbors.

I've done a fair amount of exploring already. I'm hopeful someone knows of a place I've missed in my travels.

Hello Luna.

I feel you. We are not a RP community ... you can RP here...but you don´t need to 🙂

We have several long time residents with the same imagination of laid back living, like you. Some are here for almost a decade (NOLA is around since about 12 years now).

I would be more than happy, to show you around and answer all your question ! 

Maby see you soon ?

The love that San and Amanda put into New Orleans shows in everything you see.  This was not a quick "slap it together" sim, but a long term build that as evolved over the years almost as much as the city it is based on.  As mentioned, it is not an exact copy of anywhere in NO, but instead is a "in the spirit of" build that manages to capture the distilled essence of this ancient and storied city.

You are so right, Xi. *HUGS*

Hello All,

 

Since I Joined the Continental Navy I was blown away when I visited NOL. So many memories and good times I had there. Sadly some beloved parted from us but hey that is no reason

to try keep NOL up ! So I decided to build a Galleon Named The Amanda and a % of the sales will go to Sandrine to try keep up NOL.

 

Keep strong Sandrine and many hugs

Amanda would have been so proud ! Great work, Sletty !

I will do my very best, to keep Amandas heritge alive. But I think with the help of all those wonderful people it will work. 😗

Inspired by my love of the real world original, I first visited New Orleans City several years ago and came back often, as I found it a lovely and friendly place to be. I rented here for a time and when I decided to reopen my tea room/gallery, I never really considered any other home for it. Please drop by for some refreshment and have a look at the art. Just be careful what you choose from the teapot. Most of the offerings are what you might expect to share with a friend, but there are a few you might be more inclined to share with your worst enemy!

I am so pleased to be back and I'm looking forward to a much longer stay this time. 

Thank you so much, Hazel ! You are a good example for many of our city friends. They move on to explore the grid for a while ... but one day, it pulls them back home. ☺️

The business idea of the week !

Did you knew, that NOLA is around for 12 years now ?

We constant improved and adapted it, but carefully, to keep the spirit.

In this long time we got a lot of fans, who expressed their admiration in many diffrent ways. That always made us proud and told us we are on the right path. ☺️

 

One of them is selling pictures as a background for photo shooting on the MP, which were all taken at our NOLA.

I should ask for some usage fee ... 😀

I visited here for the first time last weekend, and was SO taken by the fun, lively atmosphere that I decided to rent out a building to join in on the action! After you've taken a tour of all the sights, check out  "Beignet Café"  Coffee and refreshing seltzer are served, as are - of course - beignets and other pastries and breads. Hang out with a friend or two and make sure you have your music turned on to enjoy the blues and jazz that is always streaming. It is a warm, friendly atmosphere - and while I haven't been there long, I really am enjoying it there, and know that you will too!

What a wonderful description of the actual purpose and goal of NOLA. Serving a place to stay, where you can let your mind wander and have a peaceful spot to forget about all the RL hassle ... even when it´s only for a while. 🤗

Quaint little southern town. The spirit of NOLA is perfectly captured in the design and feel of this sim. Shops and rental properties fit the theme to a tee. Come on over and visit!

There is nothing more to add ! Thank you so much, Sora  *big hugs*.

I love this sim so much! It's one of the few places where I can get that good ol' southern atmosphere. I stumbled upon this sim in 2018 and have been renting there ever since. The vibe is very warm and friendly.  I mainly come there for southern based roleplay, exploring the scenery, and to relax and chat. I'm so happy to be a part of such a great community in SL!    

When you visit NOLA, don´t miss to visit Slushie´s little arcade at the corner of Clublane / Bourbon St. at the other side of the Absinth Café.

Thank you so much for setting it up, Slushie ! ☺️ It always brings me a smile, when I walk by.

I have a very personal attachment to NOLA and it's creators, but I have to admit that it is definitely one of the best places in SL, design wise and a great place to live and spend your time! NOLA is part of me, as I will always be a part of NOLA!

Sam was a close friend of my deceased partner Amanda, who was the idea giver of the whole NOLA idea many, many years ago. The co-builder and co- owner.

Amanda really would have loved to read all those wonderfull comments here. The idea to create something that gives people warm feelings and a good time always inspired her.

We created a place of longing, a getaway, a dream ... a place to be like you are, a place to call home. The value is, that it touched so many people over the years. So many individual stories, so many wonderful moments. It´s precious.

Catch a ride on the Dixie Belle paddle wheel steamboat (invented by a distance relative, yes really) & travel down the Mississippi River to the Crescent City, New Orleans founded in 1718 by French explorers. Once you debark, take a short walk to the Treme Bistro for a coffee with chicory & a New Orleans favorite,  a beignet. Now that you are refreshed, you are ready to tour around the French Quarter with it's famous Bourbon Street. Make sure you have your music on for a Blues music feed, so you get the full effect of sight & sound. Stop in the Absinthe Cafe & across the street at the Mardi Gras restaurant & bar , where you may swear you see Dr John at the piano or stand on the balcony overlooking Bourbon Street. Be on the lookout for a gypsy fortune teller who can tell you how  your dreams will  come true, or a voodoo priestess who can put a hex on your enemies. You may find that you will want to stay awhile, so you can check into the motel or find a place to rent & live here full time, which I have done for nearly 10 years. Just remember the only good hurricane here is one that comes in a tall chilled glass.

Thank you so much, Bayou ! This sums it up in a perfect way ☺️

This is Bayou Diesel. The backbone, heart and living inventory of NOLA City. His decorations and venues determine the image of the City in a wonderful way !

It´s such an enrichment to have him here since ... well since almost ever.
