Thanks. Nice to know. Some of my forefathers passed through there in the 1840’s headed for St Louis.

"Thanks. Nice to know. Some of my forefathers passed through there in the 1840’s headed for St Louis." Not surprising. New Orleans was second only to New York as a port of debarkation for immigrants. As a result, it developed the same structure of ethnic neighborhoods as NYC. It is amazing how much the New Orleans "Ninth Ward accent" sounds like Brooklynese.
