Chartres House

Chartres House by Erwin Spinner, 2018

I'm reading Djibouti by Elmore Leonard. I'm not too sure about it, the writing is a little awkward, but the story and the characters keep me going. Dara Barr, an Oscar award winning documentary filmmaker, has a studio on Chartres St. in New Orleans. She and Xavier LeBo are in New Orleans to make a film about Hurricane Katrina. On page 31, a few days before the storm, they have a meal of oysters and beer at Felix's. Somehow I got that all crossed up in my mind and went looking for Chartres House and came across this cool image.

In the Wolf's Mouth


Wendy McNeill - In Bocca Al Lupo (Official Video

This song is about an incident that resulted in eleven Italians being lynched in 1891 in New Orelans.
Wikipedia has a long article about the lynching. Seems New Orleans is where the Mafia got started in the USA, not New York.
