Today we start a new series with New Orleans geographer Richard Campanella. The Tulane professor and author of Bienville’s Dilemma and Geographies of New Orleans, among other titles, also recently started a column for Nola.com and The Times-Picayune. His “Cityscapes” pieces explore New Orleans’ urban landscape and history each month.
WWNO News Director Eve Troeh sat down with Campanella to discuss his latest Nola.com column, on how it took New Orleans nearly two centuries to get street numbers right.
