(I had the two floor to ceiling windows on the right. At the time that I lived there, the window on the far right was a door.) It was a great abode for a 20-something, 1st-job-out of college, girl from Baton Rouge. My rent was $200 per month. My apartment overlooked the garden of Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. I could lay in bed & here Miss Lillie play "La Vie En Rose". Miss Lillie was a lady of indeterminate age who played the piano there. She had a red beehive & I often ran into her walking her poodle in the Quarter. This was back when the quarter was still affordable, some what squalid & very bohemian. Alas, now it is a haven for the very rich & the merely affluent seeking condos. I only lived there for one year. Yes, it was very noisy & parking was a nightmare even then. But it was a great balcony for a Mardi Gras party, which I had that year. I moved uptown shortly there after. One year in the 900 block of Bourbon street was enough to satisfy all my fantasies & delusions of living in the French Quarter!Karin in Baton Rougenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083577144119475988.post-60926478441240570422012-01-25T17:53:18.173-06:002012-01-25T17:53:18.173-06:00Very Cool cottage Kim..Love it..even though its on...Very Cool cottage Kim..Love it..even though its on Bourbon..Id stay there! :)) Thx for sharing it!Mrs Millers Apple Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306992084535363472noreply@blogger.com
