History, people, fables and critical essays on the 24/7 life of the French Quarter. "Those who live somewhere should be allowed to decide how a place should exist; it should not be determined by how it can be sold." (Grace Lee Boggs) “The great music of the city is not Louis Armstrong; it’s when you say good morning and good evening.” (Mr. Jerome Smith)
One of the shocking things about the Quarter is the amount of property falling apart right before our eyes. And I mean falling apart. Most of the pictures I will post will be of totally abandoned buildings- I know of one building near my mother that has been empty as long as I can remember…
This is one in the 200 block of Dauphine. If you stand on the stoop, you can look up and see into the building.
I will post a almost unbelievable assortment here over the next few months
