A loose trade paperback self-published series New Orleans take-downs that began a few years back. It was intended to be a ‘trilogy of darkness,’ however the final piece of the series has eluded me. How does one end it poignantly? Maybe best to leave it an unfinished project, much like our fair city. This is the first in the series.

This volume of the trilogy is a take-down article from the Atlantic in 1973, and explores different points of time within the New Orleans landscape—conceptually approaching them to allow us to rethink about less common tropes of what people feel our city is, and isn’t, or ever was.
