Claire - S. Robertson in Uptown and Downtown NOLA

S. Robertson in uptown and downtown New Orleans.


S. Robertson is where I have lived all my life.  This street is home to all of my “Firsts.”  It begins in college and ends in the arena.  It follows me wherever I go in greater New Orleans.  This is my favorite street because I was born on it, I grew up on it, I will go to college on it, and I will work on it.  It will be in my life forever.  This street has seen the best and the worst of New Orleans: beginning of life, death, love, and sadness.  This street has houses that my great grandparents built, and it is where my parents bought their first house.  I have lived in my first and second house both located on this street.   This street saved me from floods, rainstorms.
New Orleans is home to S. Robertson, and S. Robertson is home to me.


Claire, age 17
