St Louis #1 is the oldest cemetery in the city, founded in 1789.

It borders on a questionable neighborhood. St Louis #2 is in the projects. Because the tombs are above ground and almost look like little houses, there are plenty of places for the criminal element to hide. People have even been mugged during the day.
*like that ever stopped me*
During Katrina, when all the looting was going on, St Louis Cemetery #1 was untouched. Why, you may ask?
Because Marie Laveau, renowned voodoo queen is buried there.
Her magic is still feared so the looters stayed out of it and away from her.
*she's 50' from my family tomb*
