New Orleans, Bar Live Cam

New Orleans East is a collection of communities that sprang up as an early suburb for Creoles, French, and new residents. Today it is a popular residential neighborhood, home to Jazzland Theme Park, and the connection to the Northshore cities of Covington and Slidell.

In the 18th century, the East New Orleans community of Gentilly functioned as a small village a "half league" from New Orleans. Established along Gentilly Ridge, the area began expanding in the 1920s as Creoles began moving out of the French Quarter-Esplanade area. It is now a mixture of diverse neighborhoods, low sprawling post-World War II houses, nurseries, Dillard University, and the Baptist-Theological Seminary.
