I like the architectural detail of old buildings—I live in a house that was built in 1850. And I just like the idea of downtown. The old buildings help create a sense of community, more so than new buildings do.
I go there for Jazz Fest, Blues Fest, and when my brother’s playing (Brian Hyland) with his band, West O’Clair, that plays Irish music at Kitty Hoynes. So that’s a place I’ll frequent.
It’s mostly music that draws me down there—and the nice restaurants. And I like the old buildings, and the thought of going into these old buildings, where it’s warm and light. That’s very appealing to me.
