Could it be the origins of, "The City That Care Forgot"?

  • In 1895, referring to New Orleans, Grace King said, "The American millionaire is an impossible type to her. She certainly has been admonished enough by political economists: "Any one” say they, “who can forego a certain amount of pleasure can become rich.” She retorts (retorts are quicker with her than reasons): “And any one who can forego a certain amount of riches can have pleasure.""

    Regardless, enjoy Mardi Gras.
