Great memories! I lived in Marigny for a few years on St. Ferdinand, when I was stationed in NOLA for the Navy. By the time I got there the crime was pretty bad, but we got to see a lot of Mardi Gras Indian coming out parties.
I’m talking late 60s. Wasn’t bad then- Elysian Fields and Rampart
John Kennedy Toole lived on the block. Warzone now. Creeps me out. Wouldn’t set foot there if they paid me.
