I lived in the Marigny for several months, and I do remember that store.

I left NO about two months before the storm. I got divorced and suddenly became a single parent. Not only did that mean I couldn't work nights anymore, it meant I had to move closer to family so I could have some help raising my daughter. I miss New Orleans in a visceral way; if I was alone, I'd be back there in a heartbeat. That city was damn good to me. I love it still.
