Visitors to New Orleans often wonder where its theater district is located. The short answer is "no where you're going soon." Located atop Canal and bisected by Rampart and Basin Streets, the city's four great theaters -- the Orpheum, the Joy, the Saenger, the Loews State Palace are boarded up and ignored. Or were. The Saenger is on the way back. Now word the Joy is going to
reopen as a concert venue. Good news. More pictures of New Orleans theaters can be found at
