This is the book to read if you want to know why New Orleans has so many weird street names.

I used to live on Rampart Street, which used to be called Love Street. It was called Love Street because it was the street where many rich white men built houses for their free women of color mistresses and the children who were produced by these unions.

Fascinating history.
