Description: Exploring New Orleans Street Names
Hey everyone, I see that this blog is getting some traffic despite my posting hiatus. I promise to get some fresh posts soon. I’m currently writing a novel, so all of my writing time has been spent on that. But, I’ll be making time, so come back later in the month.
Thanks for reading!
The Gist: Vallette Street in New Orleans is named after Francois Valette, an entrepreneur that owned several docks and warehouses in Algiers Point on the West Bank of the Mississippi River. His son, Octave, changed the spelling of the family name.
