Anybody got any jazz suggestions for background music?
That we should probably have some!Anybody got any jazz suggestions for background music?
Joking aside, I was picturing a bluegrass/jazz fusion soundtrack. Bluegrass might not be as big as jazz, but is still huge in New Orleans. It matches the more bayou focus we kind of have. And it would blend more easily with frontierland's soundtrack. So, a bluegrass/jazz fusion seemed like a perfect fit in my mind.Anybody got any jazz suggestions for background music?

BUT
I'm discovering that bluegrass/jazz fusion is a genre that basically only existed in the minds of these three guys I knew with a band in high school and this obscure band I found on YouTube.
So, with keeping in mind what I'm picturing doesn't work, any kind of ambient jazz works lol
I think we're good. It's just a food stand so I sided against it. I can whip one up if you think we need itHahaha that's great! Just double checking, should I leave room for a menu in the presentation?
We’re probably good without it, I just wanted to make sureI think we're good. It's just a food stand so I sided against it. I can whip one up if you think we need it
I think it looks great! Maybe add a picture or two from the project to the intro post. Or mention that you can use Prezi to explore the map yourself as well as click through to explore the project in order. Some old folks like me who were in school before Prezi existed never used it before lolThis is what I've got for the presentation:

Who would have thought that a piece of land deep in the bayou, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, would become a place of delight and wonder?
Said to have been one of the key passage points in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, this intersection of swampland and river would become home to none other than Jean Lafitte, legendary pirate and privateer. In need of a waypoint closer to the mainland for his operations, Jean discovered the destination and founded a settlement there: La Porte D'entree à L'Ouest (translated as The Gateway to the West), or La Porte for short. This settlement was a safe harbor for all sorts of scoundrels who sought to evade the law, from fellow pirates to gamblers dodging their debts. Of course, even a legendary pirate like Lafitte would need people to serve as “mayor” while he was away, preserving the settlement’s traditions even after his passing. Many would manage, but more and more the word of westward expansion brought fear to its townspeople. However, a chance encounter in the 1840s would forever alter the settlement’s fate.
Henri LaTriche, the “mayor” of La Porte at that time, happened to meet a wealthy gentleman stopping off in the town for a night’s rest. Henri initially saw him as his latest mark, striking up conversation as he planned out how to fleece the man of his money in cards. However, as the gentleman talked about his plans to manage a gold mining operation out West and how it was his luck that the town was here to serve as a safe haven before heading West, Henri began thinking of all the wallets that would be passing through the town. He realized something: respectability could bring far more profits into his pocket than any crooked operation. With that, he launched a massive renovation of the town. Gone were the days of serving as just a safe harbor for criminals and thieves! La Porte would become a safe harbor for any travelers, whether those on the way or those seeking to carve out a new life for themselves! True, this mission was fueled by Henri’s greed, but these days, there is no doubting the welcoming atmosphere of the town.
Protected by the shades of the bayou, La Porte offers a quiet place for a traveler to rest their feet for a moment or two. The sounds of jazz and ragtime float through the air, as guests wander its streets at their own pace. For instance, those in need of a meal might stop by La Cuisinière du Bayou, managed by local chef Sylvain Broussard. Originally born in France, Sylvain grew up in the bayou and found the wonders of its tastes and flavors. Coming from a line of chefs, he has taken the family techniques and mixed them with a Cajun flavor sensation. Be sure to stop by for a bite. Meanwhile, folks in need of a little adventure might stop by the Wilkinson Treasure Expeditions cart. Schemer and veritable con man Nathan E. S. Wilkinson is there peddling tales of the legendary Lewis and Clark Treasure, claiming that his maps can guide folks to the location of riches that had once belonged to the famous explorers. You can stop by and join the quest for this treasure if you like. After all, this has just got to be the latest brand of humbug that Wilkinson is selling to visitors…right?
Of course, be mindful of wandering too far into the bayou. Hidden in the forests and swamps is a place that the locals call Frog Mountain. Besides the gators and frogs that populate that swampy piece of land, there is something far more powerful said to be there: magic. Some even claim that the land falls under the domain of Mama Odie, the Voodoo queen of the bayou. In any case, wander that part of the bayou at your own caution. You might just see some wondrous sights among the fireflies...or some shadowy friends from the "Other Side".

Let me know if there's anything that should be modified!
Haha will do!I think it looks great! Maybe add a picture or two from the project to the intro post. Or mention that you can use Prezi to explore the map yourself as well as click through to explore the project in order. Some old folks like me who were in school before Prezi existed never used it before lol
Other than that... Looks like another win!

Should be fixed now!Only thing I saw was on the piece about the anchor, it's a little off center so the first part of each word is cut off on the left hand side. Other than that, looks great!
Hang on! I got a logo coming in a minute!If there's nothing else, I'm going to post at in a couple minutes!
