This poster on a French Quarter wall was my first introduction to New Orleans hip-hop artist Lyriqs Da Lyraciss (@UnderdogCentral), whose new album “The Nobody’s Monologues 2” is available for free download here http://www.underdogcentral.net/ (and worth downloading).

The Marriott Hotel on Canal Street in New Orleans has some really amazing art work in the lobby and elsewhere.
Walking around the French Quarter in New Orleans, July 4, 2012
After dinner, everyone headed their separate ways. I walked up Canal Street toward Bourbon, thinking I would run back into the TBC Brass Band on the corner, but the Lucky Dog hotdog vendor said they had been there earlier and left. I soon heard the sounds of another brass band coming from the downtown side of Canal, but it proved to be a band coming outside from a wedding reception, so I walked down Bourbon all the way into the Marigny, but there was little going on there either.

The French Quarter can be a place of unexpected delights, like the coffee bar whose front door hides a tropical courtyard, or the small jazz band playing on a street corner for tips.
