Kings, Mayors, Chiefs

Kings, Mayors, and Chiefs:

You meet all of these in the French Quarters of New Orleans.  I am delighted to report that I can now add a Chief to my list of local royalty.

Sunday's monsoon brought down the roof on the three stores adjacent to the Hoi Polloi. As we all share the same roof, I still ponder how our store was spared the indoor downpour?  One of the men sent to repair the damage was Chief Black Bear of the Golden Eagles. While waiting for the supervisor to give directions, Big Chief shared his costume designs via his cell phone.

Now I have another name for the plaque that I imagine on the wall of our building. Rather than those famous "George Washington Slept Here" articles, I want to identify those local celebrities who visit here. I imagine that like the very long list on the plaque near the Famous Door Jazz Club on the corner of Conti and Bourbon, the list will grow to be more intriguing and colorful.

So here is a toast to my ongoing list of interesting and colorful people that I meet on Conti and Royal Streets!

Open the link and you will see Chief Black Bear of the Golden Eagles.
