511 Marigny St
New Orleans, LA 70117
Forget Bourbon Street
and the French Market, head over a
little further East, to a triangular
neighborhood centered around French
Street. This little neighborhood
supposedly has better music and a
better nighlife than the tourist
traps in the heard of New Orleans.
The Iron Rail is
located still a little east of this
neighborhood, and definately worth
the short trip. It's zine library is
one of the most extensive I've seen
yet, and I saw zines there I've never
seen elsewhere. You can grab a cup of
coffee and sit down at a table and
read a zine you're going to buy, or a
book from their library collection.
When I was there, an
older guy came in and was looking
around the library. After browsing
for about ten minutes, he walked back
out to his truck, gunned it and sped
away. The woman working at Iron Rail
said she was curious as to what he
was doing, and said she saw a police
sticker on his car.
