The Gauche House--dating from 1856. Once of the estate of John Gauche, the home is privately owned. |  |
The ironwork of the Gauche House is one-of-a-kind. |  |
"Hoodoo, voodoo, doodoo"--the magical incantation of the Great Wilsoni (Keith Wilson), who performs magic interspersed with very funny quips at the intersection of Royal and St. Peter Streets. |  |
The Great Wilsoni can be seen performing in the French Quarter on weekends and holidays. Here, the magician has pulled two spectators out of the crowd and is trying to teach them how to untie themselves by magic. |  |
| A beautiful building (but not fitting in with the rest of the French Quarter), the giant edifice of the Louisiana Supreme Court suddenly takes up an entire block along Royal Street. The statue is of Chief Justice Edward White. |  |
Using the steps of the Louisiana Supreme Court as theatre seating, a brass band performs jazz across the street from the audience. |  |

The Verti Marte Deli was one of the places we were planning to get food--but alas, it caught fire the day before we arrived in New Orleans! |  |
The loss of the Verti Marte has saddened a lot of locals; people began writing messages on the plywood almost as soon as the building was closed up! Robyn is writing a message in this photo. |  |
A look at some of the hundreds of messages written by Verti Marte's customers. The good news is that the Verti Marte is going to rebuild! |  |
Robyn's message written the night before: she included a plug for gatesofdixie. com and neonparadise.net. |  |
