Dear Table 26-er,

Throw open your French doors and awaken to the sounds of steamboat whistles and calliope music.

The mighty Mississippi is only two blocks from this fully-restored Victorian shotgun bungalow.

Work in downtown New Orleans? You can take the Algiers Ferry - it's faster than being stuck in bridge traffic, and it's FREE!

Your new home in historic Algiers Point is loaded with NEW amenities and appliances, but styled to look like they came from great-grandma's attic. You say, the heck with the appliances 'cause you hate to cook? Guess what? Cozy coffee shops, neighborhood taverns, and full-service restaurants are all within two short blocks.

Our history is your destiny....

Like to read? Algiers Point has it's own library. Got kids? The Confetti Park's playground is just right for children.

Your dog will love to run on the levee and you can jog or bicycle there too. Want some fun? Tour the glass-blower's studio or see Mardi Gras floats being built at Mardi Gras World.

And when you want to thank God for leading you to this one-of-a-kind corner of New Orleans - well, Holy Name of Mary Church is right up the street.

Want some local flavor?

Sooner or later, you'll have to go to City Hall for something. Unique among Big Easy neighborhoods, Algiers Point has it's own courthouse. The judge is friendly too. Here's a true New Orleans story.....

A few years ago I got a traffic ticket for speeding in a school zone. (The school zone sign was hidden by an overgrown tree.) My husband got a ticket in the same place for the same thing soon thereafter.

Both us had to go to traffic court on the same day at the Algiers Point courthouse. My husband was called first. The judge told him his penalty. Then he called my name and said, "Say, you have the same name as another defendant."

I said, "He's my husband." The judge laughed, meted out a much lower fine, and said, "In that case, I'll give ya'll the family discount!"

Your dream house on Alix Street is raised on 3-foot pillars and has never flooded since the day it was built over 100 years ago.

Newly painted inside and out, Number 220 has all the original hardwood floors. A side gallery connects the 2 full baths, 3 bedrooms, dining room, living room, parlor, kitchen, office, and Christmas tree room with its really cool bay windows. Wait! There's more! It has a finished loft, new roof, front porch, screened-in back porch, off street parking, and a fenced yard. And the house is shaded by a giant live oak tree, complete with Spanish moss.

This fine home won't last long...

Maybe you think if it sounds too good to be true, it can't possibly be true. Well, this is the real deal. The owner must move to another state to care for her elderly mother. She's heartbroken to give up her beautiful home, but it's gotta go. All 3000 square feet of old-fashioned, new-fangled bliss can be yours for just $239,000. Owner financing is available too. Don't wait. Call Jill NOW at 504 XXX-XXXX.

And when you're through touring the house, I'll be happy to show you around the neighborhood.

Best regards,
Janoosa
