New Orleans Sno-Cone… Online!
August 7, 2008
Famous New Orleans Sno-Cone… preserved online.
Allison King, a masters student at the University of Texas at Austin, has created a great online history of the Hansen’s Sno-Bliz iconic snowball stand.
Created with the help and cooperation of Ashley Hansen, granddaughter of the late founders Ernest and Mary Hansen, the Web site is a living multimedia document and a rich piece of nostalgia. There’s a Flickr site for the Hansen family photos (check out the shots of Mrs. Hansen with Willard Scott on The Today Show), a blog, and an online multimedia exhibit.
Allison has even set up a YouTube page with some great footage — check out this home movie taken at Hansen’s in 1991:
An excellent use of technology! Makes me hungry for a sno-cone!

please, it’s not a sno-cone. if it’s new orleans, it’s a sno-ball. and if it’s hansen’s, it’s a sno-bliz. and everyone knows, there’s no bliz like a sno-bliz! now that makes me want to air condition my tummy!
