You can guess the flavor, but you want so much more. SI5- Before I left to go to New Orleans, an acquaintance of mine told me, “Why bother going to the French Quarter? It’s just a bunch of bars. You can go to the bars here in Texas and save the travel expense.” I have to disagree. New Orleans (or any other town, for that matter) is not just a bunch of bars. New Orleans is a city of history. Of architectural romance. Of strange contrasts. And of characters. The characters of New Orleans— especially the French Quarter—are trea sured, almost as if they were natural resources. And they run the gamut from people you expect to be characters anywhere—like musicians—to people you don’t find anywhere else—like the Duck Lady. The police in the Quarter are quick to expel dingy derelicts from the mainstream Bourbon Street action, but they are protec tive and even gracious to the established creative oddballs that inhabit the Quarter Street artist nights. In other words, it’s okay to be dif ferent, as long as you have proved yourself and tourist to be harmless. In a city where historical texture is the springboard for attitude, it seems only natural that characters would abound. The Crescent City has always been a home for the adventurous and the roman tic. Jean Baptiste Lemoyne Bienville claimed the area upon which New Orleans sits for Louis XIV in 1718 and named the city for the Duke of Orleans. With the easy access from the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans was built with a European flavor. French charm abounded. You would think that France might have had some pride in this little strug gling cosmopolitan city. But, no! In 1762, France gave the land to Spain. Now, here is a most interesting fact. Two huge fires destroyed the city during the Spanish occupation, and what is now the French Quarter was rebuilt—by the Spaniards. So, the French Quarter is really not French at all. Of course, there was still a great deal of French influence, and the combination of French and Spanish came to be called Creole. Residents of New Orleans say that Creole means “child of the colonies.” But Carriages at the word has an interesting origin. It is a Jackson Square French word based on a Spanish word based on a Portuguese word that meant “Negro bom in the master’s house” that was derived from the Latin creare which means to create or beget.

Now, that may not be earthshaking information, but how many stories on New Orleans have you read lately that never even mentioned the original of any word? A little esoteric information never hurt anyone. But back to the French Quarter. After rebuilding the city, the Spaniards gave the w land back to the French in 1803. Twenty days later, Napoleon I sold the territory, along with a huge chunk of adjacent land, to the United States. (Remember the Loui siana Purchase?) So, now added to the Creole and the Cajun was the American. Ah, yes, the Cajun. The Cajuns were French settlers in Novia Scotia who were expelled by the British in 1755. They were not Cajuns then. They were Acadians. Through linguistic corruption, Acadian became Cajun. It’s easy to see how that happened. After years in the bars, my name has in some cases evolved from Dun can to Mud. With all the diverse influences of the varied settlers, add the fact that New Hot Dog Orleans is a port A lot of people from all over the world have managed to just come Stand Man and stay. 8 The Star / Jan. 20,1984 New Orleans’ Vieux Carre Serves Up Trave! Treasured People on a Grand Scale By Billie Duncan « If Staying in the French Quarter for a few MH days is like taking one lick off an ice cream cone. You can guess the flavor, but you want so much more. I * Before I left to go to New Orleans, an acquaintance of mine told me, “Why bother going to the French Quarter? It’s just a bunch of bars. You can go to the bars here in Texas and save the travel expense.” I have to disagree. New Orleans (or any other town, for that matter) is not just a bunch of bars. New Orleans is a city of history. Of architectural romance. Of strange contrasts. And of characters. The characters of New Orleans— especially the French Quarter—are trea sured, almost as if they were natural resources. And they run the gamut from people you expect to be characters anywhere—like musicians—to people you don’t find anywhere else—like the Duck Lady. The police in the Quarter are quick to expel dingy derelicts from the mainstream Bourbon Street action, but they are protec tive and even gracious to the established * -Jl creative oddballs that inhabit the Quarter Street artist nights. In other words, it’s okay to be dif ferent, as long as you have proved yourself and tourist to be harmless. In a city where historical texture is the springboard for attitude, it seems only PHOTOS BY BILLIE DUNCAN natural that characters would abound. The Crescent City has always been a home for the adventurous and the roman tic. Jean Baptiste Lemoyne Bienville claimed the area upon which New Orleans sits for Louis XIV in 1718 and named the city for the Duke of Orleans. With the easy access from the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans was built with a European flavor. French charm abounded. You would think that France might have had some pride in this little strug gling cosmopolitan city. But, no! In 1762, France gave the land to Spain. Now, here is a most interesting fact. Two huge fires destroyed the city during the Spanish occupation, and what is now the French Quarter was rebuilt—by the Spaniards. So, the French Quarter is really not French at all. i Of course, there was still a great deal of French influence, and the combination of French and Spanish came to be called Creole. Residents of New Orleans say that Creole means “child of the colonies.” But Carriages at the word has an interesting origin. It is a Jackson Square French word based on a Spanish word based on a Portuguese word that meant “Negro bom in the master’s house” that was derived from the Latin creare which means to create or beget.
