Old Absinthe House
Jean Lafitte’s Old Absinthe House (known to locals as Absinthe House) is located in the historical French Quarter district in New Orleans, LA. For over 200 years, this landmark is known as one of the oldest watering holes in the United States. This is also the place where General Andrew Jackson (later to become the 7th President of the United States) met with the infamous Gulf of Mexico pirate Jean Lafitte.

Driving Downtown - New Orleans' Bourbon Street 4K - USA
Driving Downtown Streets - Bourbon Street - New Orleans Louisiana USA - Episode 39.
Starting Point: Bourbon Street - . Route: .
Bourbon Street (French: Rue Bourbon) is a street in the heart of New Orleans' oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter, in New Orleans, Louisiana. It extends 13 blocks from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue.[1] Known for its bars and strip clubs, Bourbon Street's history provides a rich insight into New Orleans' past.
Entertainment, Bars, and Restaurants
Largely quiet during the day, Bourbon Street comes alive at night, particularly during the French Quarter's many festivals. Most famous of these is the annual Mardi Gras celebration, when the streets teem with thousands of people. Local open container laws allow drinking alcoholic beverages on the Quarter's streets. Popular drinks include the hurricane cocktail, the resurrection cocktail, the hand grenade and the profanely named huge-ass beers – a large plastic cup of draft beer marketed to tourists at a low price.
The most heavily-visited section of Bourbon Street is upper Bourbon Street toward Canal Street, an eight-block section of visitor attractions.[14] Among the attractions are bars, restaurants, souvenir shops and strip clubs. There are also a number of gay bars. The strip clubs include Rick's Cabaret, Temptations and Larry Flynt's Barely Legal Club.
Most of the bars are located in the central section of Bourbon. Popular spots include Pat O'Brien's, Johnny White's, the Famous Door, Spirits on Bourbon, Channing Tatum's Saints and Sinners, Razzoo and The Cat's Meow.[15] Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo is located on the corner of St. Ann Street.
The most renowned restaurant on Bourbon Street is Galatoire's; it represents traditional New Orleans dining and has a dress code. Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and the Old Absinthe House are two of the many casual eateries.[1]
Lower Bourbon Street (lower being a reference to downriver, or downstream Mississippi River), from the intersection of St. Ann Street, caters to New Orleans' thriving gay community, featuring such establishments as Oz and the city's largest gay nightclub, the Bourbon Pub. St. Ann Street has been referred to as the Velvet Line[16] or the Lavender Line, the edge or approximate boundary of the French Quarter's gay community. Cafe-Lafitte-in-Exile is the oldest gay bar in the nation. The intersection of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets is also the center of the Labor Day weekend event Southern Decadence, commonly referred to as the Gay Mardi Gras, which attracts upwards of 100,000 participants.
The holiday of Mardi Gras is celebrated in New Orleans, Louisiana, although celebrations are concentrated for about two weeks before and through Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Usually there is one major parade each day (weather permitting); many days have several large parades. The largest and most elaborate parades take place the last five days of the Mardi Gras season. In the final week, many events occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities, including parades and balls (some of them masquerade balls).
New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The population of the city was 343,829 as of the 2010 U.S. Census.[4][5] The New Orleans metropolitan area (New Orleans–Metairie–Kenner Metropolitan Statistical Area) had a population of 1,167,764 in 2010 and was the 46th largest in the United States.[6] The New Orleans–Metairie–Bogalusa Combined Statistical Area, a larger trading area, had a 2010 population of 1,452,502.[7]
The city is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723, as it was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their European culture. It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage.[8] New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz),[9][10] and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the most unique[11] in the United States.

New Orleans Vampire Community Grand Elder Interview
You can all take this video as a learning experience. The questions were common sense and the answers? Were of a media bias and partial to what they considered as a mockery which was presented by a small and slight piece of musical background that took place at: 4:55. The background music was insulting to me as the person being interviewed, I wasn't made aware of this until I saw the final cut. Never trust the media when you're being interviewed... more than likely they're toying with you and are aware of the editing process and will take advantage of you and it. This is what the media does on a regular basis to manipulate society to the best of their ability for ratings, subjugation and other factors. It happens all the time, unfortunately... it's what we call a controlled audience.
I held my tongue most of the time. Until now, this interview has not been aired publicly for a few basic reasons that should cause the viewer to become aware of what the media could produce to subjective arcane thoughts, images and bias remarks from its audience. Because this is an OLD ASS interview from a few years after Hurricane Katrina, I decided to re-upload it and said fuck it.
As these are my thoughts on the Community and only one perspective, take the interview as you will. Comment as you like. Regardless of anyone's speculative opinion, I'm still me... the Community is still here, and we will always have that need to feed. Your point of view is, just that... your own. Still... try to respect society, things that you're just becoming aware of and add a sense of discipline, merit, etiquette, integrity and courtesy for those you haven't met, or may meet in the future. This is NOT a witch hunt.
***Yes, the Keanu Reeves Being Immortal, picture is a simple click bait. Duh.. if you didn't catch that or my simple rhetoric sarcasm within my previous Descritiive notes, you're a moron and should look elsewhere for your entertainment. This is only a LEARNING experience as has been previously explained.***
