Mom and I rode the streetcar out to the end of Canal Street, where the graveyards are. Back when I was a 14-year-old Goth girl languishing in Leggett, CA, I would have told you that it was my profoundest desire to go hang out in a cemetery in New Orleans. And I made it! That was 14 years ago, but I'm still Gothy enough to appreciate a place like this. We thought this cemetery was just neglected, but it turns out that it was under water and God knows what else during Katrina, so some of the damage is probably from that.
