New Orleans Adult Entertainment: New Orleans storytellers give a fresh spin on Central City
October 11, 2009
On Felicity Street, between Baronne and Carondelet streets, Raymond “Moose” Jackson talks about a frightening encounter with a pack of wild dogs.
At the corner of Felicity and Carondelet, Jeffrey Cook talks about a treehouse he built on an empty lot when he was a kid and the neighborhood bullies he had to contend with — sometimes with his fists — who tried to take it over.
At the corner of Oretha Castle Haley and Euterpe Street, Clark Richardson talks about learning how to walk on stilts at the Ashe Cultural Arts Center to overcome his fear of heights.
And at Oretha Castle Haley and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, a 15-year-old Saddi Khali encountered a transvestite prostitute back in the 1980s, and he remembers the click-click-click of his/her heels as he/she chased him up the sidewalk, calling him “Red” because his skin was so light.
