[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 1701472, member: 2550"] My advice to you.....N.O. is a town known for fun and trouble.....yes, trouble...even after Katrina. Stay in the tourist area, if you go on any sightseeing tours, especially the garveyards, go on a guided tour. I love their graveyards and have even scratched my "XXX" on Marie Laveau's grave. That was an alcohol fed(maybe other stuff) wilder bender...that story will never be told!!!!! I can't remember a few days from that party!!!! Marie Laveau was reportedly buried in Saint Louis Cemetery #1 in New Orleans in the Glapion family crypt. Be careful if you take a cemetery tour....don't go alone. Bums, crackheads, and crooks hang out and live in some of the old crypts waiting to rob and steal from people who are alone or walk away from their car(break into it). With a tour, you'll be okay. Glapion family crypt where Marie is supposed to be buried.

It has to do with the water table, being at or below Gulf Coast water level. You dig in the ground and water pushes the casket up. Cement it in and over the grave....they stay put. Or build above ground and don't have to worry....except during floods and hurricanes!!! [/QUOTE]
