ABSTRACT
Stepping out of New Orleans's French Quarter toward the northeast, the lower French Quarter to be exact, one crosses Rampart Street and enters Faubourg Tremé (see Figure 2.1). 1 The quick crossing into Faubourg Tremé can be thought of as leaving one neighborhood for another; tourist for residential, affluent for poor, safe for dangerous, dangerous for deadly. In essence one crosses several boundaries and enters many landscapes.
