It's Friday, January 3rd.
Well, Lauren and Meg, we're just out.
Here dancing through life, enjoying the final hours of 2020.
Nick, I wonder if you can set the scene for us in the French Quarter of New Orleans on New Year's Eve.
Yeah, this is a New Year's Eve in New Orleans.
It's a place where thousands of people come every year to celebrate the New year, to drink all night, to be with their friends, to stay out late, to roam around the streets and go from bar to bar.
And that's exactly what people were doing this New Year's Eve, like every year.
And at the heart of the French Quarter is Bourbon street, and it is one of the most famous streets in New Orleans, if not the country.
