Never let it be said that Pyrates don’t appreciate culture – fact is, we brought much of it here to begin with!
The Folk Art Zone & Blues Museum in Old Algiers (operated by local folk artist Charles Gillam) will be open and offering tours on Family Pyrate Day from Noon – 3pm. It’s about a 5 minute stroll from our Pyrate District.
Carolyn Scofield o’ Fox 8 News (WVUE, New Orleans) took a trip to Bayou Dularge to interview our mate Rickey Verrett (aka ‘Bayou Fabio’) – WVUE has now also dubbed him “The Don of Dularge”. It’s a great segment – 7 minutes in a newscast is spectacular – and a great look at Rickey’s work;…
