    History. Stories about the way things used to be, the stuff that got us here, the elements that allow us to figure out how and where we proceed. Seems simple enough, but it's not.

Thank Goddess for Charlene’s on Elysian Fields Avenue. During Carnival, it was basically open 24/7. I visited one early morning and grinned at the large and colorful chalkboard set outside the front door.
