The Truth About Dumaine Street, New Orleans.

Dumaine Street is one of New Orleans' original streets.  It starts in the French Quarter and ends at City Park.  There is nothing more New Orleans than that in this part of the city.  Dumaine Street's course just about sums up Mid-City.  People who live in New Orleans know the truth about Dumaine Street.  People who don't live in New Orleans don't know much about it.  Dumaine Street isn't the source of memorable legends.

Some people, I'm not saying who, say that Dumaine Street is a street of the damned.  I never say that.  I love Dumaine Street.

Some people, I'm not saying who, say that Dumaine Street is a street of the blessed.  I'm not going that far.  I say that Dumaine Street is a street of the fortunate.  Lucky are those who live on Dumaine Street.  The truth about Dumaine Street is more than it appears.

Open your eyes in New Orleans.  The truth about Dumaine Street, the truth about any and every street in New Orleans, is right there for you to see and savor.  New Orleans is beautiful.  Everything in New Orleans is beautiful.  You are beautiful, and not just because you are on Dumaine street.  An intricate mosaic is made up many tiny sparkly pieces, each where it perfectly belongs.

People of all persuasions live harmoniously in a New Orleans state of mind on Dumaine Street.   The truth about Dumaine Street is really pretty dull.  Everyone gets along.  No fights break out.  Kids who grew up across the street from each other get married, raise a family on Dumaine Street, or on Saint Philip Street, or on Saint Ann Street.  

This part of New Orleans is full of saints.  We all grow up as time goes by.  Dumaine Street, like New Orleans, itself, endures.
