Any rare birds know of a decent independent or used book
store in and around the French Quarter? I'll be there next
week for a conference and would love to explore. Looking for
more than just HB collections.
************* There was a nice looking one right in the heart
of the French Quarter, but I didn't go in. The French Quarter
is fashionable, and you usually pay for that. I kinda became
interested in the voodoo history, in particular a Marie
LeVrie (last name??), a famous local voodoo queen. Evidently
the name became a house name that got passed on, with many
sightings of the woman years after her death. There are
several cheap story books of local legend. Check em
out!
The Quarter, although a fairly safe tourist destination, gets
rough late at night around the time the bars close down. Be
careful.
