| Want to help? The Project can use help in maintaining the website, as well as replacing supplies and equipment stolen post-Katrina. Send contributions(cash, checks, money orders, or visa gift cards) to: Sean M. Perry c/o 3110 Magazine St. New Orleans, LA. 70115 Also, our Books-for-Kids READ NEW ORLEANS readneworleans.org work is ongoing. We need the most help with logistics. But the look on the face of a child with some new books all their own is fantastic. | We have been having problems with several of the Haunted/Gypsy/Commercial tourguides, most of whom are not from here and come for no other reason than to take advantage of our Recovery. Some have even formed "non-profits" to cover up the fact that they are simply trying to string tours in our residntial neighborhood, to the detriment of our community. They usually have flyers at hotels and hangout near the streetcar line to accost tourists. Only someone with a badge may provide information on behalf of the Project. | As in any city, exercise caution and research your destinations before traveling into unknown areas. Minimize the number of belongings you carry when walking our streets and stay aware of your surroundings. It is safe to visit alone, although enjoying your visit with friends will enhance the experience. This site will help you to understand more about what New Orleans' cemeteries are all about. Located in the Garden District section of New Orleans (originally the Lafayette/Livadais District) and accessible by the St. Charles Streetcar, as well as by car. By streetcar from Downtown or Uptown, get off at the Washington Ave. or Sixth St. stops. Walk one block towards the river and enter at either the Washington Ave. or Sixth St. gates.  | Safety: Lafayette Cemetery is one of the safest cemeteries in the city. The efforts of the Project, the community, families, as well as the New Orleans Police Department, have been coming together to help reclaim and protect what our city's historical dynamics represent. | | All communications regarding this Project and e-links, etc., are monitored by: The U.S. Department of Justice FIELD/GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH ADVISORY Cemetery Research and Control Advocacy Send Inquiries to: SeanieNOLA@hotmail.com Researched and compiled by: Sean M.
