Jessica, this piece was rich and so full of life and wild-eyed wonder. I thought you did a great job of capturing the your impressions of the city and holding them up against your romantic preconceptions — from the alliteration (crimson crawfish) and the sensory details (raspy brass band) to the telling details that really speak to the place (the security guard calling you “young princess”). And then you brought it full circle with the Streetcar reference. Good representing for FAMU. Well done, Jessica.
