Along the Claiborne/I-10 Corridor
When the overhead bridge of I-10 was erected above Claiborne Avenue in the late 1960’s, it split the Treme in two and devastated the Black business district that had once been centered on Claiborne. But the location still has significance for downtown New Orleans, and on a Sunday where there is a downtown second-line, a massive crowd gathers under the bridge. Some people bring lawn chairs and even barbecue grills, partying and waiting for the arrival of the second-line, 12/02/12

Taking A Break at Bocat’s Lounge
Taking a break at Bocat’s Lounge in the Seventh Ward, where a large crowd gathered. The stops along second-line routes give the paraders and band members a chance to rest or eat and drink, and also give other social aid and pleasure clubs a chance to host and salute the club that is parading, New Orleans, 12/02/12
