New Orleans, there’s no place like it. It’s a special place for sure, and if you were lucky enough to grow up here, you’re bound to share these memories. Even better, you may be sharing these special experiences with your own children. Come take a walk down memory lane with us as we share 11 memories everyone who grew up in New Orleans remembers fondly
- Eating Roman Candy
runner-ohzT/Trip Advisor What’s your favorite flavor?
- Riding the flying horses in the Carousel Gardens Amusement Park

Wikimedia So much fun!
- Getting put in one of these
Christian Brady/Flickr I was always terrified I was going to fall.

- Cooling off with a snowball on a hot summer day

- Riding the street car as a kid seemed like a magical adventure
The Visionary Agency/Flickr It was much more fun than just driving in a car.
- Learning that the rest of the country doesn’t get off school for Mardi Gras
Miguel Discart/Flickr And then feeling really bad about it.
- Sinking your teeth into one of these bad boys
Infrogmation of New Orleans/Flickr And being devastated about the fire in 2012 that destroyed the factory.
