From the expansive, 8,000-square-foot Short Villa at 1448 Fourth Street to the simple yet elegant George Washington Cable home at 1313 Eighth Street, the Garden District is a brilliant tapestry of architectural styles and period designs.
The flood resulted in a thick layer of nutrient-rich alluvial silt being deposited on the land, including the Livaudais plantation; this new layer of soil encouraged the luxuriant foliage growth that would later give the Garden District its name.
Disdained by the old French Creole gentry in the French Quarter, these new arrivals thumbed their noses at the Creoles by constructing sumptuous mansions and the Garden District was born.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, or Metro, is suffering from a lack of dedicated funding that is standard among other transit agencies of its size, according to a new study by Brookings Institution scholar Robert Puentes.
Metro is different from these systems in that it relies on local subsidies from the three jurisdictions that it serves, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, for a large part of its revenues.
Metro's board approved a round of fair increases for rail, buses, and parking that not only closed the gap, but as in last year's price hikes, will raise more money than the projected shortfall.
