New Orleans is a city of beautiful contradictions, evidenced by its
street names. New Orleans crosses with Hope, Pleasure and Duels.
Religious couples with Nuns, Market and Race. Music, Arts and
Painters are parallel. New Orleans enfolds its denizens in the
protection of saints, the artistry of Muses and the bravery of
military leaders. The city's street names are inseparable from its
diverse history. They serve as guideposts as well as a narrative
that braid its pride, wit and seedier history into a complex web
that to this day simultaneously joins and shows the cracks within
the city. Learn about Bourbon's royal lineage, the magnitude of
Napoleon's influence, how Tchoupitoulas's history is just as long
and vexing as its spelling and why mispronouncing such streets as
Burgundy, Calliope and Socrates doesn't mean you are incorrect--it
just means you are local Told with precision and photos as vibrant,
irreverent and memorable as La Nouvelle Orleans itself, author
Sally Asher delivers an updated and reinvented look at the city
that care forgot.
