You know when you grow up and live around things that other people come to my town to celebrate, you kind of tend not to miss them, until you miss them.

Hence one can walk beneath ornate wrought iron balconies without ever looking up and see horse drawn tour carriages without ever having been on one.

Well, we've been to Dooky Chase's on Orleans Avenue, many times, though not so recently. And Leah Chase was as much a fixture of our city as those wrought iron balconies, the horse drawn carriages, Orleans Avenue and all the rest. Rest in peace, Leah.
