Today The Historic New Orleans Collection opens a brand new building whose design is based on architectural renderings of a hotel that stood on the exact spot in the 1850s--a building that many believe to be the inspiration for the Animals 1964 hit song The House of the Rising Sun.
Ironically, it is the first new construction in the Quarter since the storm. Here, everything old is new again.
When you are in town for the annual meeting, have a good time, but don't do what I have done/ you shun that house in New Orleans/ they call the Rising Sun.
