Way to go Marigny! I'm so excited to read this and to know that positive word is getting out about (at least parts) of the city. The American Planning Association just released its annual "Great Places" lists, including this one of the top 10 neighborhoods in America.
For those who don't know, this is a charming, historic neighborhood adjacent to and just downriver from the French Quarter. Most of the structures are 100+ years old and it's where the artisits and bohemian scene went when the Quarter got to expensive. Of course, now, the Marigny has certainly climbed in value, so the young, vibrant group who made this area so special are pushing even further down river into the next neighborhood called the Bywayter.
