The stars shown brightly in the night sky. Buildings and shops towered the inky black sky while the people of New Orleans walzed through the busy streets.

Music filled the crisp air. Folks from all walks of life gathered around the central area, near a small cafe called Terrace. The sweet smell of coffee and beignes wafted through the air carried by the light warm breeze. 

The clanking of high heels and dress shoes, danced to the swinging of jazz music played by a live band. But after a couple of hours, the excitement slowed down. Hours passed, people began to leave and goes home to sleep the rest of the night away. 

Once again the cafe was empty. The smell of coffee still in the air, but now mixed with cleaning products that were used to clean the tables. 

Everything is still, as still as a photograph. Please do come again.
