Up ahead of us on the left and you'll see a building, a very tall white building that's the largest building in town.
It's called One Shell Square and it sits on an entire block of ground and it stands 51 stories high.
There it is. See what I'm talking about?
Now the way they got it up and keep it erect is by driving caisson steel cylinders with concrete poured down the center
over 200 feet in the ground so the buildings are actually on stilts, almost all of it is skyscrapers.
And you pass by the Superdome on your way, coming from the railroad or the train yard
and so you've got a chance to see it. It's the largest structure of its kind in the world and it's a wonderful arena.
This is Andrew Higgins and you may not recognize the name but I'm going to tell you who he was.
He was the man that created here in New Orleans and built here in New Orleans the landing craft using the D-Day invasions and lots of other places.
So he is one of the main reasons why the National World War II Museum is here.
And if you get a chance to go, if it's something you think you'd like to do, you're not going to see this anywhere else in the United States
but they have the National Museum is over here on the left front.
They have changing exhibits on the first level but they do have some stationary things like a tank and a jeep and different things like that.
