I wasn't sure where to post-feel free to move

For the inevitable day when those images disappear, here are a couple of relevant ones.

Bukowski and Gypsy Lou look badass in this picture, like a gangster couple between two bank heists.

Do we have an address where they lived in New Orleans. I'm there in December and would love to take shots of their place in the quarter-or anywhere for that matter.

I have this 600 block of Ursulines Street but no number.

Unfortunately, nearly every scrap of evidence that Loujon was every in the French Quarter is long gone. I was there seven years ago and there was essentially nothing.

Anyway, you started a thread on this topic some six years ago (did you end up not going?) - the info you're looking for is here: https://bukowskiforum.com/threads/the-location-of-loujon-press.5533/. Happy hunting but I fear you won't find much.

 

[Short Bus]

I went. I go every year
I didn't take any shots.
This article popped up in the local paper so I thought now was good chance to get the exact address to photograph.

Well, seven years ago I found no evidence that 618 Rue Ursulines still exists. If it does, it was hidden behind a gate.

I've been meaning to pick up

Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press

I know that it is a bible to some small publishers.

 

[zobraks]

I was planning to buy that book too, but it's sold out at TBD.
Why TBD? Because they ship stuff to third world countries.

I emailed the writer of the NOLA article. She thinks the address is in the book. She also said she thought Bukowski's address was in it too. She borrowed from the NOLA library so she couldn't verify for me.

Susan, the article writer, was kind enough to send me this article.

She thinks the address is in the book.

I'm quite confused. As I posted earlier, the addresses are very clearly in this thread.

 

[Short Bus]

Ok I suck.
I have no idea how I missed it but I did.
Thanks.
