.Pirates , Privateers, River Gangs and War heroes

Piracy had always surrounded this Isle of Orleans and neighboring Barataria Bay - a fearful yet necessary trip for locals to acquire their wares but these

places were filled with dangerous and disorganized terrors from the sea in the early  days before the strong gallant Jean Lafitte came to straighten things out. He and his brothers have tales of treasure, treason and heroic deeds haunting here. Planning of the Battle of New Orleans-Jean and his cohort spirits wander in at least 2  of the bars we visit and occasionally has been seen walking the tours with us. He is also in Galveston and ultimately it seems the Yucatan -being dead doesn't seen to stop you from getting round town especially this one. The Laffittes Blacksmith Shop on Bourbon is our oldest pub and very haunted and Jean Lafitte himself is one of the spirits within its old brick en post construction, learn more & see many ghost pics.

                                                 Lewd and Abandoned Women of the Night

Prostitution was a liecensed trade in 1857  till round

Prohibition and had flourished since colonial times. Some of New Orleans first shipment of colonists were called Correction girls - a polite term for the harlots swept off the streets of Paris and  set free from the jails and sent to Louisiana, Prostitution greeted the Keel Boatmen in the Swamp and then settled down near Smoky Row, Gallitan  Docks and the Famous Storyville- actually the calmer of the red light districts in our history. Visit an old Brothel still haunted by the girls and their Madame Mae Bailey, hear of the Last Madame-, Norma Wallace and the one after her too who still walks in her flesh in the french quarter-- get some Scoop straight from some who were there in the day and the politicians, policemen and regular Joe's & Johns who were with them "allegedly. Get your own souvenir license

 Gambling, Dueling- Adventurers through the times

Piracy gave way round the time that the Floating palaces reigned Queen -the Riverboat days were a time when gamblers, adventurers, soldiers of fortune had their  hey day here. Every coffee house and tavern had many an able bodied man with some scheme up his sleeve searching for investors to front their freedom fight. With a ready ear, money to burn and drink in hand New Orleans men were anxious for adventure of game of chance. Governors, Senators, creole gentlemen, fugitives and refugees joined in- Even the Aaron Burr conspiracy had a New Orleans edge. The ever popular  duel still going strong was challenged under the influence.  Many a man fell in honor with pistols or sword in hand - Backfired Reasons of expansion, treason, passion- all these "Sure-things" triggered adventures of one kind or another.

 

The Black Hand, The Mafia , Organized Crime and WOP Salad To Go                                                                

The first Port of entry for Sicilians into this country was New Orleans and the word Mafia was introduced to this country from right here--they  also brought the Black Hand and some fabulous food in tow. The Black Hand left their mark in early New Orleans and gave way to bootlegging, pimping, gambling and drugs.The First Mafia Assassination in the country was in 1890 New Orleans . The Black Hand was disorganized but the first Mob bosses in early New Orleans organized it -the First Family Matranga and later our prize catch Mafia Kingfish- Carlos Marcello- all had their hands in a lot of tills and tassels too. They were in the limelight from 1890 to 1970's owning many of the bars, brothels, restaurants and gambling joints-Where are they now?

Burlesque, Strippers,and their Politicians all in a Row

Being in bed with the politicians has many meanings in New Orleans and this Red Haired Vixen may have made Louisiana Governor Earl K Long stark raving mad but she was not the first to entice a politician to his impending doom-  Blaze Starr and her burlesque fame floor shows at the ShoBar on Bourbon Street with Hot Jazz blaring its trumpet strumpet call lured Many  a man in with wicked wiles , moans and groans and bumps and grinds. But New Orleans was a always a hotbed of hussies, plots and plans and Bourbon Street was defiantly not alone—explore the death and resurrection of Burlesque

Murder/ Suicide , Torture , Demons and Deadly Darkness

Drugs and liquor were on the scene of many a murder/suicide but could the Deadly Darkness have a deeper deceit? How has this been thought of throughout the ages? Shake the Devil Off is a new book about a New Horror in New Orleans blaming PTSD as the demon. THIS case study of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is valid but what else was brewing?

Phantastic cocktails and The Green Fairy
