Kids tap dancing in the French Quarter in 1976

Kids Tap Dancing in the French Quarter- 1976

Another eBay slide, which I love. Taken in 1976, it’s something that still happens today; kids (particularly poor black kids) attach metallic caps to the bottoms of their shoes and tap dance on the cobblestones.

Here the local kids seem to be teaching the tourists to dance along with them in front of St. Louis Cathedral.

About NNO

Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~

I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

So now I own a NOLA-themed shop , and am part time at the Preservation Resource Center, which works to "preserve the historic neighborhoods that make New Orleans unique." I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and play in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
