My point here is, does anyone else have any ideas pertaining to New Orleans and the Dresdenverse?
Having lived most of my life in Baton Rouge, New Orleans was one of the places I looked at as a setting.
The Ursuline Convent could be a useful location if you need a religious location near the French Quarter that isn't St. Louis Cathedral. Cafe Du Monde would be a good open air neutral ground. I'm sure you know the local stereotype of the westbank which you can play up. The Audubon zoo & park would be a good place for the summer court or wild fae.
Saint Louis Cemetery #1 houses the tomb of
Marie Laveau. Jackson Square always has a number for psychics and fortune tellers around it, along with local artist.
One of my ideas was a street performer turned necromancer using
tap shoes (those are made with beer cans) to control his zombies. There is one of
Napoleon's Death Mask in The Cabildo. Oh, and remember that The Cabildo is from when
Spain controlled the Louisiana territory.
If you are up for some traveling around the state. The Myrtles Plantation is a 2 hour drive for a famous "haunted" location, Rosedown Plantation is nearby if you want something a little bigger and not so close to the road but still easy to access. Also, Venice (2 hours the other way and where River Road ends) is nicknamed "The End of the World."
