- In the one-hour documentary we'll explore the unique relationship that exists between New Orleans and the body of water on which it was founded. We'll reflect on the vitality of the present port and look back at its history, as well as its connection to Central America's banana trade.
- If there was ever a pivotal decade for the city, it was NEW ORLEANS IN THE '50s. Program highlights include the early days of local television, including "Popeye and Pals" and "Morgus the Magnificent"; the career of New Orleans Mayor Chep Morrison, whose years in office spanned the decade; the development of the Lakeview and Ponchartrain Park neighborhoods and Canal Street as a regional shopping and entertainment mecca.
- For many locals talking about restaurants past and present is almost as popular a pastime as dining in them. This program looks back at some of New Orleans' most historic present-day restaurants and also chronicles a few that are part of the city's collective memory. Among the historic restaurants still in operation are Antoine's and Tujague's two French Quarter gems born in the 19th century; other French Quarter classics are Galatoire's, Arnaud's and Brennan's. Also showcased will be Commander' Palace, located in the Garden District. Among the featured lost restaurants are Toney's Spaghetti and Pizza House, Houlihan's, Bruning's, the Hummingbird Grill and Barrow's Shady Inn. Though now located in Metairie, the original Morning Call Coffee Stand in the French Quarter is also profiled as is Sid-Mar's a former Lakefront seafood house.
- New Orleans notables, rare photos, home movies and historic footage help tell a story of a special place in Uptown New Orleans that began as a sugar plantation, later a campground for Confederate and then Union troops, the site of a World's Fair and ultimately one of America's top zoos and green spaces. AUDUBON PARK MEMORIES is produced and narrated by Peggy Scott Laborde.
