A friend and I went by last night. They were actually filming the exterior shots of the house. They had NOPD there, so we could only get one shot. It didn't turn out great, but here it is.

Just went by- the brown paper is down from the windows and you can see inside! Very nice at night!!! I will attempt to get better pics during the day and night this weekend.
Here are the pictures I took today. Not much going on at the house. When I made my second pass around there was an older gentleman on a side balcony talking on his phone. None of the inside lights were on. I plan on going back once it gets dark. Hopefully they'll have the lights on. If so I'll get out and snap some pictures. I took these with a camera, not my phone, so they're pretty nice quality. You can zoom in on the original files and you can see greater detail, so if anyone would like the originals just drop me a line and I'll pass them along.
If you look closely you can see lights that hang from the outside balconies. They aren't in any of the original pictures. You can also see a couch that is new to the front porch right at the top of the entrance stairs.

For anyone who hasn't seen recent pictures of it, I decided I'd stop by the original house, the "Belfort" and grab a shot of it-

No such luck. House was dark. Does anyone know if there are any specifics on when they move a cast in? Like do they do it on the weekends or weekdays, daytime or night? Does anyone know?

Generally move-in starts early afternoonish. They moved the DC cast in on a Thursday I believe...not sure about any season before that.
I'll certainly keep an eye out... I really thought they'd aim for this weekend, as there is the big NFC Championship game here tomorrow. I figured they'd want to film for all the major party events as they could.
I live very close to this house. I will keep an eye out for activity as well. I'm so excited they are coming back to New Orleans! Hopefully they will do some good while here. I would think they would want them here for the game tomorrow night, as New Orleans is bound to be CRAZY if the Saints win tomorrow night at the game in the Dome. I'll take some pictures too!
I'm glad to see we have members who are close by to the house and are willing to provide coverage!
I just have a feeling about this season..
Sure, it may be early and we might not know anything about it yet, but still.. I just have a feeling :D
Just curious- any locals have an insights on the community mood towards the RW? Does it seem like people are amping up to stalk this as much as RWDC, or has it been pretty low-key?
I would agree, it's Saints City right now :) I have driven by twice however...the first time was last Sunday night. I got out of my car to take a picture and there was undercover security sitting in a car that got out and asked me to take my picture and move on. So that is Def the house! I took a picture, but it was dark and didn't really come out so I don't see the point in posting it. I drove by again after class tonight and it is completely lit up. It looks like a movie set. You can see it from a block away on Saint Charles Ave. They have light illuminating it from outside all over the place. They also had two white mini vans parked out front. I have no idea if that is signifigant, but I didn't see any other activity. I'll let you know if I see anything else next time I drive by.
I really hope they get here before the superbowl so they can show on TV the feeling in our city right now. Everybody is on cloud 9 with the Saints. The excitment is contagious :)
Also, they are off the parade route for Mardi Gras (the parades start this weekend) so I'm sure as the word spreads tons of people will be stumbling by the house to see what is going on.
Will keep you all posted!
I read the other blog too, but it looks like someone erased it. Does that mean they made it up? I'm confused...It sounded like it could have been true because when I drove by last night it was so lit up and I saw the vans out front, but who knows. I'm studying for a big test in the AM, but I'll check again tomorrow! I feel like such a stalker, haha...

Not erased, just [URL="http://vevmo.com/f249/real-world-back-to-new-orleans-4613/"]moved[/URL].
[QUOTE=mr.unamazing;153288]Did you go inside the house?[/QUOTE]
If the picture is taken from inside the house, doesn't that seem kind of obvious?
Can you tell us where the fishtank is in the house, dream? And thanks, as always :)

I live in Tennessee and we have a grocery store that sells the Cafe Du Monde beignets mix!! I used to order cases from Cafe Du Monde but now I dont have to pay shipping!!!! My dad has gotten good at making them, so now I have them every saturday morning!
Lifelong new orleans native, my grandparents owned a place on St. Charles that looked similar but was bigger and had red brick. Place was a mansion. I was a little taken aback when I heard that they were going to use the Belfort as the house since htat's a very well known and historic home here and it's unusual that they'd allow a bunch of teens to booze it up for reality. So this makes much more sense.
