military relocations: Moving From the West Coast to the Gulf Coast | Your PCS to NAS JRB New Orleans - 01/21/10 08:49 AM
A little bird recently put a bug in my ear (yeah, I’m know I’m mixing metaphors or whatever you call them) and told me that there are going to be a good number of military relocations from San Diego to NAS JRB New Orleans in the next couple of months.
If you are amongst those that leaving behind sun, sand and an ocean view, let me welcome you to New Orleans and to the West Bank.
I was recently in San Diego and Newport Beach and I have to say that I was hard pressed to leave. It’s a stunningly … (8 comments)

military relocations: Relocating to the West Bank? Let's Go Shopping! - 03/27/09 01:53 PM
I don’t know about anyone else, but if I was relocating to a new city one of my first questions about getting around would be “where can I buy ____?” Part of getting acclimated is finding out where to shop in your new community and the West Bank has plenty of choices within a short drive of both military bases or wherever else your relocation might land you.
Shopping Mall Oakwood Center in Terrytown is the only true mall on the West Bank. With department stores Dillard’s, JC Penney’s and Sears as anchors, the mall is still filling spaces left after … (4 comments)

military relocations: That's No Way to Treat A Soldier - 09/16/08 09:43 PM
I received an email yesterday from a couple who will be relocating to the NAS JRB New Orleans base soon. They had been in regular contact with an agent in my area who was sending them listings week after week. "Had been" being the operative words.
The agent was johnny on the spot with homes for sale - right up until the couple mentioned that they were not sure if they wanted to buy or if it would be a better choice to rent during their limited stay. All communication from the agent came to a screeching halt.
Way to … (40 comments)

military relocations: Where Did You Go to School? - 02/29/08 09:03 AM
Ask any native New Orleanian that question and the answer will almost always be the name of their high school. It doesn't matter if they have a doctorate from the most prestigious Ivy League university in the country, in New Orleans it's all about what high school you attended! Folks who relocate to New Orleans may find this a little odd, especially given the great colleges and universities located right here in the city, but to me it's just part of the charm of my hometown.

The boxes are unpacked, the new curtains are hung in the windows and the pantry has been filled. The flurry of activity involved in moving has subsided. You are a new resident in an unfamiliar city with small children - wondering, What now?
Any move can be difficult, but if you are relocating to a new city as a stay at home mom, it can be even harder to adjust. Spending your days at home with the kids can make it tough to meet new people and make new friends. With four children of my own, I can relate to the stress … (11 comments)

military relocations: Military Relocations to NAS JRB New Orleans - 01/03/08 05:27 PM
Welcome to New Orleans!
Moving into a new area is always a bit of a challenge, especially when you don't have the luxury of a lot of time to decide on a new home. As a military transferee with orders in hand, you are faced with deciding where to live rather quickly. Most people who have never been to the New Orleans area don't know much about us except for what they've seen on TV. Speaking as a native, I can tell you that there is a whole lot more to the city than Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street.
