Readers’ Circle

The Quarter is one of the world’s cultural capitals, yet it faces pressures that threaten to permanently undermine it as a community. Will it become just another Disneyesque commodity with historic architecture? Or can it survive – and even thrive – as an international incubator for creatives?

While the future of the French Quarter is obscure, we never underestimate the power of a good story.

At FQJ, we document the Quarter’s lesser-known people, places, and history, all without firewalls or intrusive ads. We dig deep into its bohemian past. We highlight the new residents, artists, and businesses that are infusing fresh vitality.

And we’re building a fascinating digital archive that can be accessed the world over – a legacy that will last, come what may.

Reader donations are a critical part of our annual budgeting. If you’d to join our team so we can continue publishing more of the stories, photos, and videos you love, please join the generous readers below now.

Note: Donations are made through the PayPal system and can be made with your PayPal account or any credit card to French Quarter Journal by Ellis Anderson Media, LLC.  Because we’re technically for-profit (although we think of it more like subsistence publishing), donations aren't tax-deductible, but we guarantee you more fascinating reads by excellent writers in return for your support.
