It sounds cool, but the url doesn't work and Google searching it isn't working either.
Apropos

What is Storyville? Is it an area,
certain types, a brothel etc.

Maybe Annie or even Melissa can chime in and share what history they may know.

I don't know enough about these parts to know enough to share any stories.
I'd love to hear (read) some famous folktales

I love these famous photos. Each photo has it's own story.

I knew this thread had keyed something in my memory but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
The documentary "Storyville" has most of those pictures in it. It's about the brothel industry.
