Marigny-What is not to love?



A very famous nightspot in Marigny. Has quite a history good and bad. You can Google the name and get a lot of information regarding the club.


This sign was hanging in the Spotted Cat window. From what I understand after reading about this club online I understand the meaning of it. I love the artist Simon Hardeveld that paints these signs. You see this artists work in shops all over town!!  I think his shop is right off Magazine on Jackson. One of these days I am going to go check out his shop and buy one of these signs.




I think this is art as well.





I had NO IDEA what Fair Folks and A Goat is exactly but how can you not laugh. The house is just beautiful. I was not sure if it was a shop or a home. I don't see an open sign anywhere so I did't dare go in. I went home and Googled the name and found out it was a shop! To bad you can't tell that from the sidewalk. They need an Open sign or something to invite you in!!

Even flyers become a piece of art.

This was another amazing window. The colors are just beautiful.


I am crazy about the store signs. I took pictures of hundreds of fabulous signs on the French Quarter as well. I have no idea why I have this fascination with the store signs of New Orleans but I do. I wonder if I am the only person who goes around taking pictures of them all. This happens to be one of my favorites.

What can I say. I found the saying on the wall interesting and then all the artwork around it. I thought it was a fun shot.
