Iron Rail

Excited about the Occupy Movement, but secretly afraid to stay outside overnight? Then join the anarchists in a bookstore setting!

The first Wednesday of every month is the OPEN MEETING at Iron Rail!

It’s at 8pm. Please join us– bring food & drink if you’d like to– at the New Orleans LGBT center, 2114 Decatur Street, between Frenchmen and Elysian Fields.

Since the French Quarter reopening the Rail has been inundated with love. It has been wonderful and humbling. If YOU would like to get involved with the Rail, including volunteering for shifts, these open meetings are a great opportunity.

Dig uncovers burial ground

St. Louis Cathedral recently finished their own historical archaeological dig, finding among other things, a flower market and toys. Now, a storied name in French Quarter history has his own dig discoveries: Vincent Marcello wanted a pool in his backyard on Rampart and has found some older “residents” back there, probably from the time the area was St. Peter Cemetery in the 1700s.. Let’s hope he doesn’t want back rent…
