My life as New Orleans tour guide

"No, I'm not a resident. I just visit here. A lot."
So I replied to the couple from Paris, France, to whom I'd just given directions to a restaurant in the Garden District. Earlier I helped a young couple from California find their way to a vegetarian place on St. Peter. And then there was the couple on the Riverfront streetcar needing to know which stop was closest to Café du Monde. I correctly told them Dumaine St.
Oh, and I did I mention the cab driver from Union Station appreciated my suggestion on the best way to cut through rush hour to Chartres St.? (He also appreciated the tip, I'm sure.)
I'd move here in a minute.
If it wouldn't be such a long commute to my classes at Jackson State.
