Voodoo, ghosts and pirates! Is Cajun country, New Orleans, really still a spooky, authentic creole enclave?
Or is it just a sprawling city like many others?
That is to say, is the place steeped in a Caribbean/Cajun/Creole vibe and some genuinely interesting voodoo history, or is the voodoo stuff nothing more than a tourist attraction from a long forgotten past?
I heard the Voodoo temple was really just a shop on one of the main streets.
I would not say the city has a Caribbean vibe but it does have a true voodoo and ghost history. There are tours you can take that give you some of the history and they are well done.

I think what you were referring to some feel is touristy but its interesting.

Though this is just a portion of the city and it offers a lot for visitors to do.

Visiting New Orleans with the kiddies?
I’m visiting New Orleans for about a day…maybe two with my kids, all teens. We want to show them some of the interesting sites but being that they’re kids they wont be all too interested in the WW2 museum or the like. Too much like school i suppose lol. What would you all recommend, specifically, that we should definatly check out? Of course we want to eat at some point in the day but I’ve read about most of those must see places…I’m looking more for things like sites or attractions, like the wax museum or the zoo? Any other cool places? Hidden secrets or little known places would be nice to hear about 
How about Mardi Gras World

The Ragdoll Cat – Animal Attractions TV
One of the friendliest feline breeds, the rag doll cat is super friendly and craves human contact. The rag doll gets its name from its tendency to go limp as a bag of rags when picked up. Similar to a rabbit’s fur, rag dolls have soft hair that is very plush.
A common myth of the rag doll’s ability to go limp is from the first rag doll mom who got hit by a car and suffered severe nerve damage. Rag doll cats are lovers not fighters!
