In the heart of Old Gretna is Hook And Ladder Cemetery. I visit on a foggy morning, and I was reminded how picturesque and historic this cemetery is. I had not explored it's space in a number of years, despite it being so close to my work place. Gretna is on the "Westbank", across the Mississippi River and skirting parts of Algiers. Most people visiting New Orleans are unfamiliar with this historic small town a quick car ride away, but it offers Gretna Fest each October which has hosted everyone from KISS to The Wallflowers.
