The Kindness of Strangers

Sorry, it's impossible for me to look at these back door French Quarter pics and not think of "Streetcar." They must have built the sets from these stills. (If it wasn't shot on location).

Say "Cheesy"

All trying to pose nonchalantly and not really succeeding. Also, none of them looking directly at the camera. One wonders if this was what the photographer wanted. Finally, there seems to be a definite demarcation between the sexes!

Bonjour

Mes chers amis. Laissez rouler les bon temps.

Also known as

Red Beans and Rice day. That's Monday to the rest of the world.

Southern hospitality

1133 Chartres (pronounced "charters" in New Orleans) St. is now the Soniat House hotel.
