Tennessee Williams’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire, was published in 1947. During this era of post-war prosperity, buses and cars were taking the place of many New Orleans streetcars. Within just a few years, only two lines were left in New Orleans, the St. Charles and the Canal. This was quite a comedown from the streetcars’ heyday, when there were 28 lines. Back then, even the nocturnal “Owl” service, which ran from midnight until 5 am, was so popular that it prompted one visitor to exclaim, “New Orleanians must be human bats!” These streetcars seemed to capture the very essence and charm of New Orleans. Symbolically, just as Tennessee Williams’ rough Stanley Kowalski clashed with Blanche Du Bois’ Southern gentility, the harsh realities of modern life and technological progress almost put the remaining streetcar lines out of service. Fortunately, a group called the Streetcars Desired saved its beloved streetcar lines.
Available in Red and Green.
The French Quarter or Vieux Carré is the area of the city's original settlement established in 1718 by French explorer, Jean Baptiste Le Moyne. Destroyed by a devastating fire in 1788, 90% of the original Quarter had to be rebuilt. Since this time, it has gained a worldwide reputation for – among other things – its architecture, jazz musicians, and Mardi Gras revelry. Lined with lively and picturesque buildings, the narrow streets invite exploration. The architecture is a distinctive mixture of French and Spanish architecture featuring intricate wrought iron balconies. Today, the sidewalks provide a stage for the Quarter’s ubiquitous street musicians and Jazz is an integral part of the sounds of the Big Easy. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
