An entertaining account of the wild history of New Orleans, told through the names of her streets. Chase's narrative voice and beautifully hilarious cartoons make this a very quick and enjoyable read.

Upon re-reading: a bit more dry the second time around, but still a good, light read. Definitely took more note of the politically incorrect turns of phrase here and there; not entirely surprising given its first publication date but still sad that it shows its age.
