New Orleans has always had a heart of noir. New Orleans is a Third World country in itself, a Latin, African, European (and often amoral) culture trapped in a puritan nation.

While New York has Dutch & English forebears, New Orleans has the French & Spanish to thank for creating a unique blend of eighteenth & nineteenth century architecture that has made it one of the most photographed cities in the world. Then there is the madness of Mardi Gras & the lure of its international jazz festival that has helped give it the nicknames; ”the City that Care Forgot” & ”the Big Easy.” Before the rise of the railroads it was the most prosperous city in the South. The city fell early in the Civil War, but the dwindling importance of cotton & river trade on the Mississippi led to the city`s real demise in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
