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)
Discussion: Making It in the Quarter: A Conversation with New Orleans Service Workers, Wednesday 6-8 pm
Our city thrives on the French Quarter, yet the people who make it run day to day–the bartenders, hotel staff, tour guides–are often overlooked. Join us for a panel discussion on what it takes to make it in the Quarter. Moderated by Aziza Bayou, the panel will feature mule carriage driver Sandra Holliman, Michelle Mueller of Jazzed Up Tours, an assistant manager at Banana Courtyard, a lead server from Brennan’s, artist Russell Gore, who sells his jewelry in the French Market, and Robert Watters, Director of the French Quarter Business Association.
