This is the side of New Orleans Take-Out a local cafe that serves up some excellent Creole food. Having never been to New Orleans I can't vouch for it's authenticity, but they do make some great po boy sandwiches.If I remember this story correctly, the owner was getting tired of his building being 'tagged' by graffiti all the time, so he got one of the kids to spray-paint a mural of Louis Armstrong. It worked - no more graffiti.

That makes the old saying "if you can't beat them, join them" very apt.
It is touching to see something New Orleans there - that city has taken such a bit hit.
The owner did some creative thinking! It's a wonderful mural.
This is neat. I like the idea too of getting locals to decorate the building. I wonder what is the "Po Boy" sandwich made of? It sounds delicious.
'cause that name always means good things to those who walked the mountains and such.

Nice work! My compliments to the artist...
Hey Abe, a "po boy" is a sandwich made on French bread and dressed however you want. In south Louisiana, seafood po-boys are popular, like fried catfish, fried shrimp, fried oyster. You can go to Mother's on Poydras in New Orleans and get a debris po boy, which is roast beef and the gravy with the little bits of meat, or debris, that flake off during cooking.
A good solution against graffiti! Could be done in many places...
