"This book began as a documentary project to capture the idiosyncratic vernacular architecture and artifacts--vintage mom-and-pop businesses, roadside motels, live music clubs, neon signs, wall murals, fast-food joints, and so on--that helped give the city's various "off the beaten tourist path" neighborhoods their unique character. But because so many of these places and artifacts were devastated by Hurricane Katrina, this book has become both a historical record of what existed in the past and a blueprint for what must be rebuilt and restored to retain the city's unique multicultural landscape."--Jacket.
