Thanks to the Young Leadership Council , the streets of New Orleans are speckled with 80 streetcar sculptures painted by local artists and sponsored by area businesses. The motivation behind The Streetcar Named Inspire project was to display tangible and highly visible symbols of New Orleans' recovery. The project has recently set a date for its auction for Saturday, May 16. Tickets are $60 per person and include food, drinks, entertainment by Kermit Ruffins and a chance to bid on a multitude of streetcar items, including garden-sized and full-sized streetcar sculptures.
