Only in New Orleans

I wanted to post the Picayune's front page photo from this morning of the goofy people waiting on the first Canal streetcar at 3:00 am, but it's not on their website today. Instead, just go read this article. People here are crazy.
The car was greeted by the standard mishmash of New Orleans people: old and young, black and white, local and tourist, drunk and sober, all standing around slurping coffee and noshing on beignets. They had amassed on the neutral ground at Canal and Salcedo streets for the better part of two hours, taking numbers for a ride to nowhere in particular and trading life stories with friends and strangers alike.
It really doesn't take much does it?
