November Festivals Happening on New Orleans Main Streets
Posted by: | CommentsYou’ve probably noticed the abundance of festivals around town this month: The Fringe Festival, the Broad Street Brewhaha, the Po-Boy Festival… November is a great month to be out and about in New Orleans. But did you also know that these festivals are part of the larger Louisiana Main Street Program?
New Orleans Main Street Districts. Broad Street, North Rampart Street, Oak Street, OC Haley Boulevard, St. Claude Avenue
The goal of the Louisiana Main Street program is to promote the cultural heritage of Louisiana, cultural tourism, and historic preservation of America’s historic main streets. Each November, designated Main Streets in Louisiana are required to participate in the Louisiana Main to Main initiative by hosting a festival that celebrates its unique heritage. These annual events are big boosts to individual Main Street communities because it promotes awareness of their efforts, stimulates the local economy, promotes local history, and brings residents together in order to create a sense of community pride.
There are a total of 35 designated Main Streets in Louisiana. New Orleans currently has 5 Main Street communities, and each of them have held festivals over the course of this month. Some of them have already happened, but you still have time to attend the Po-Boy Festival on Oak Street and the North RampART Festival on North Rampart Street. Go out and show your support for our local Main Streets!

PRC and Josh Charles Partner on MySpace
Posted by: | Comments
PRC is proud to announce that Impact, MySpace’s non-profit arm, has partnered with Josh Charles to get the word out about his new song “Healing Time.”
Josh wrote the song in heartfelt response to the post-Katrina devastation he found upon his return to New Orleans. All proceeds from song downloads are being generously donated to the Preservation Resource Center.
Josh was mentored by Dr. John and spent a lot of time in New Orleans, living and working in the city right up until Katrina. He feels that New Orleans is “one of the most important and influential places in my life as an artist.”
We would like to extend our thanks to both Josh Charles and MySpace for helping get the word out about New Orleans recovery.
