"From the front of his flat in Orleans Alley—city fathers renamed it Pirates Alley in the '40s to add what Sealy calls 'pizazz'—Faulkner could look out onto what remains the city's most famous landmark: the towering St. Louis Cathedral. Jackson Square was only steps away. The park remains the bohemian gathering spot it was in Faulkner's day, although the surrounding streets now are home to trendy boutiques and restaurants instead of bleak warehouses."
