I have lived in New Orleans since July 4, 1998. An (un)naturalized New Orleanian, I grew up in a formerly small town north of Chicago (a.k.a. Chicagoland).

 

I made a documentary about New Orleans chess master Jude Acers that's now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Plex, Fawesome, and coming soon to Tubi, YouTube Movies & TV, and Xumo. The movie is called, The Man in the Red Beret. www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0FWZM54FF/ref=atv_dp_shar...

New Orleans, the way it IS.
