Book Synopsis Stories Behind New Orleans Street Names by : Donald A. Gill
Book excerpt: The street names range from the rare -- Tchoupitoulas, Colapissa and Bunny Friend -- to the historical -- Desire, Barracks, and Bourbon. Here's one: Bourbon Street may be the street where booze flows freely, but it really derives its name from the House of Bourbon, whose ruler sat on the French throne when New Orleans was founded in 1718.
