Bertrand,

(Does anyone know what is located now at 517 Baronne in New Orleans?)

That is probably the block over Poydras Street. I think years ago there
used to be a show (Civic), and furniture store (Mintz and Mintz) on one
side and the telephone company on the other side. I worked downtown until
December 1998 and walked everyday at lunch in that area (about 1995 -1998).
They were doing renovation in that area at that time and I do not remember
what was there.

I have a dentist appointment downtown on November 7 and if it is important I
could ride past there. Just let me know.
Joan
