Wandering around the French Quarter I came across this quiet corner at Chartres Street and Madison Street. It’s not far from a lot of the attractions or bars or anything, but there are just pockets of really calm areas that seem to just be residences and small businesses. I heard a few times that after the storm everyone cancelled conventions in New Orleans or didn’t book them at all and that tourism was way down. Plus it was the off-season. I don’t know if these quiet areas were because of that or because that’s just how they are.
