US-DAILY LIFE-STREETCARS-NEW ORLEANS

The Elm Mansion along the St. Charles streetcar line in New Orleans, Louisiana February 4, 2013, which travels from the edge of the French Quarter all the way down beautiful St. Charles Avenue, passing by celebrated restaurants, shops, and hotels. Some destinations of note include the Garden District, Audubon Park. The original line dates back to 1835, and due to its status on the National Register of Historic Places, by federal law the current "Perley Thomas" streetcars in use must be preserved in time as they existed in 1923.
