Charlie Palooka’s
From the New Orleans Jazz History Decatur Street/ Vieux Carre Walking Tour brochure: “Originally the fashionable Ursuline Row designed by Gurlie and Guillot c.1831, the Decatur St. nightclub area came about because of the French Market, the demise of the Gallatin St. district, the derelict nature of the lower French Quarter in the early 1900s, and the closeness to the wharves. By the 1930’s the street had many bars and small dance halls with jazz bands. This club was one of that number.” ...

The dancehall is now used as a banquet and rental hall. The construction is brick, the roof is flat, the foundation is a concrete slab. The dance floor is composed of wood strips.” The owner was Billeus (Bruce) Broussard. ...
Unknown Dancehall
New Llano, originally called Stables, was renamed in 1917 when 200 members of the Llano Del Rio Cooperative Colony (a Socialist commune) relocated there from all over the United States. The commune pooled resources and wealth until it collapsed in 1939. From “Louisiana: A Guide to the State”: “Llano had a social life all its own.
