OK, this one didn’t work out
so well, but I like the lower
right “grain”.
The famous statue at the center
of Jackson Square in the French Quarter…
…this might have been a
restaurant, although any
place classy enough to display
statuary was probably beyond
my means in 1978.
Somewhere in the Quarter
was an establishment with
this name…might still be
there.
…I believe this was sketched
at a city park where the
Louisiana Jazz and Blues Heritage
Festival was held…I remember eating
“dirty rice” and seeing the
Fabulous Thunderbirds that day.
Last year I had the pleasure of dining
at a non-descript eatery called, I think,
Metairie Seafood…great food and large
posters on the wall for nearly every
LJBHF dating back into the 70s.
From my first visit to
New Orleans, 1978.
This is a rather incomplete
template for a wheat sheaf
design on punched tin. I printed
it out full size, then taped it
to the sheet metal and punched
out the holes.
So, here’s where many
of the icons went…onto
a ethnic-location Chicago map.
