Lakewood is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. A subdistrict of the Lakeview District Area, its boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are: Veterans Memorial Boulevard to the north, Pontchartrain Boulevard and the Pontchartrain Expressway to the east, Last, Quince, Hamilton, Peach, Mistletoe, Dixon, Cherry and Palmetto Streets to the south and the 17th Street Canal to the west. For decades Lakewood Country Club operated in the neighborhood, predating most residential construction and bestowing its name upon the developing area. With the finalization of I-10's and I-610's routes in the 1960s, much of Lakewood's golf course was expropriated for the sprawling I-10/I-610 interchange. Lakewood Country Club relocated to the Algiers neighborhood, on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, and the remainder of the golf course was developed as the Lakewood North and Lakewood South subdivisions. The former clubhouse remained for years, visible from I-10 and lastly used as the main building for the now-closed New Orleans Academy. The clubhouse was ultimately demolished to make room for a LDS Church, itself demolished in the aftermath of catastrophic flooding occurring in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Bayou Metairie was a stranded distributary bayou that was located in present-day New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, USA, that extended from the area known as River Ridge to Bayou St. John. Bayou Metairie was filled in during the late 19th century and early 20th century although remnants of Bayou Metairie persist. The geologic record indicates that the Mississippi River 2600 years ago followed a course that became Bayou Metairie. This flow pattern gave rise to river banks through alluvial deposition in that location. With time, the course of the river shifted to its present day location, leaving behind a stranded waterway that was Bayou Metairie. Its river banks of its past course remained as the long narrow strip of higher ground that is known as the Metairie - Gentilly Ridge. This ridge as it followed Bayou Metairie was as much as a mile wide at its beginning, becoming much narrower as it progressed eastward, with a height of approximately seven feet. Water flow from the Mississippi River into Bayou Metairie was intermittent until approximately the year 1700 when it had ceased completely.Bayou Metairie meandered 20 miles eastward through present-day Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish, following a path approximately parallel to the present course of the Mississippi River. Eventually Bayou Metairie developed a northward outlet to Lake Pontchartrain, the outlet becoming known as Bayou St. John. The sections east of Bayou St. John came to be known as Bayou Savage and Bayou Gentilly. The locations of these distributaries and the Metairie - Gentilly Ridge can be seen in the 1849 Sauvé's Crevasse map. Bayou Metairie and the narrow, elevated banks that comprise the Metairie - Gentilly Ridge had long been used by indigenous people in pre-colonial times. Subsequently, the land on the ridge was mostly used for small farms and gardens, being fertile soil on high ground, in centuries past of the region. Only intermittently was Bayou Metairie navigable, and then only by small boats, depending on wind and tide. Small colonial farms were established by 1708, pre-dating the city of New Orleans. In the early history of New Orleans, smugglers and runaway slaves made use of Bayou Metairie and the accompanying ridge.As urban development continued in the region in the late 19th century and early 20th century, Bayou Metairie was filled in, with only remnants persisting by the early 1900s. Some of the remnants include the area around Dueling Oaks in New Orleans City Park and the lagoons in the lower part of City Park. Early real estate developers promoted the location based on its easy access to New Orleans. The Metairie - Gentilly Ridge, which followed part of the course of Bayou Metairie, is presently occupied by Metairie Road in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.Indigenous people in the region referred to Bayou Metairie as "Bayou Tchoupitoulas", while Spanish settlers knew it as "Arroyo de la Alqueria". French settlers referred to the Metairie - Gentilly Ridge as "Chemin de la Métairie".

Morning Call Coffee Stand is the name of a series of coffeehouses in the New Orleans metropolitan area that have served New Orleans-style café au lait and beignets. It is the second oldest such business in Greater New Orleans, after Café du Monde. Morning Call was opened by Joseph Jurisch in 1870, at the lower end of the New Orleans French Market, eight years after its main competitor, Café du Monde, opened a few blocks upriver in the French Quarter. For over a century it was a French Quarter landmark. Locals long had personal opinions regarding whether they preferred Morning Call, or the original Café du Monde two blocks away. For decades both Morning Call and Cafe Du Monde offered automobile curb service. In 1974, confronting rent increases and the redevelopment of the French Market district, the owners of the Morning Call closed the original location and moved to Fat City, a commercial district in Metairie, Louisiana, in Jefferson Parish. In 2012, Morning Call returned to New Orleans when they opened a second location in New Orleans' City Park Casino Building. In April 2018, The Metairie, LA location was closed. Rising lease rates, expenses and the competition of many more new coffee shops nearby was cited as reasons for closing this location. Bob Hennessey, who runs Morning Call said “We’re not going out of business, we’re focused on the New Orleans store.” In 2018, New Orleans City Park, to ensure the park was getting the highest value for the concession in the Casino Building, began a bid process to award the lease to a local beignet parlor. Morning Call lost the lease to Café du Monde. Morning Call closed its last fixed location in January 2019. The owners of Morning Call vowed to return in a different location. In 2019 Morning Call continued with a series of pop-ups in Greater New Orleans while in negotiations for a new permanent location. In May 2020, Morning Call returned to the City Park Area, opening its current location at 5115 Canal Blvd.

Country Club Gardens is a residential neighborhood in Planning District Five (D5) of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States comprising homes along six streets: Bamboo Road Bellaire Drive Fairway Drive Garden Lane Maryland Drive Metairie RoadThe area is bound to the north by the Lakewood neighborhood, and is separated from that area by the raised right-of-way of the Norfolk Southern Railway; to the east by the Metairie Cemetery and the golf course of the New Orleans Country Club; and, to the south and West, by the 17th Street Canal, one of the main arteries draining rain water out of the city and north to Lake Pontchartrain. Because of the physical location and the street network, the neighborhood enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the city of New Orleans. The Metairie Ridge, a natural levee formation of the Bayou Metairie (no longer extant, except in City Park) along whose course Metairie Road now proceeds, trends through the neighborhood and provides above-sea-level elevation for much of the land situated within a quarter of a mile of Metairie Road. The three streets north of Metairie Road, Maryland, Bellaire and Fairway are connected via lanes named after women in the Friedrichs family which owned the plantation which comprised the land before it was sub-divided in 1924: Marguerite, Hedwige, Ethel and Natale. Longue Vue House and Gardens, a mansion on Bamboo Road, is open to the public for tours. Fairway Drive features a roundabout at the intersection with Natalie Lane which surrounds the ancient Fairway Oak. Fairway Drive is covered by a canopy of oak trees which provide residents welcome relief from the sun and humid heat of summertime New Orleans. Properties on the west side of Maryland Drive straddle the border between Orleans Parish and Jefferson Parish, and pay property taxes to both jurisdictions, the majority going to Orleans and the City of New Orleans where the street is chartered. Homeowners in the neighborhood may belong to the Country Club Gardens Association, which collects annual dues to provide increased security in the area and social gatherings to conduct neighborhood business. Timothy Hurley, a local attorney, has served the neighborhood association as its president for many years.

Holt Cemetery is a potter's field cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is located next to Delgado Community College, behind the right field fence of the college's baseball facility, Kirsch-Rooney Stadium. The cemetery is named after Dr. Joseph Holt, an official of the New Orleans Board of Health (famously involved with city health issues concerning Storyville, the Red-light district of New Orleans) who officially established the cemetery in the 19th century. Holt Cemetery is one of the Historic Cemeteries of New Orleans. The cemetery was established in 1879 to inter the bodies of poor or indigent residents of the city. Funeral processions to Holt Cemetery were generally around, rather than through, the city. The original cemetery was 5.5 acres, and it was expanded in 1909 to 7 acres. Nearly all of the tombs are in-ground burials. As established, ownership of the graves at Holt Cemetery were given to the families of the deceased for the cost of digging the grave and subsequent maintenance of the plot.Most of the graves and tombs at Holt Cemetery were not commercially or professionally produced but were instead fabricated by families of the deceased, giving the cemetery a strong personal touch.The cemetery contains the remains of known and unknown early blues and jazz musicians, including Babe Stovall, Jessie Hill and Charles "Buddy" Bolden. The battered remains of Robert Charles, at the center of the 1900 New Orleans race riot were briefly interred there, then dug up, and incinerated. Later, in 1973, four victims of the UpStairs Lounge arson attack, Ferris LeBlanc and three unidentified males, were buried in a mass grave at the cemetery.Over the years, Holt Cemetery has been a destination of ghost hunters, with frequent incidents of grave-robbing and reports of Voodoo and Santería rituals.The city of New Orleans conducted $450,000 in repairs and upgrades to Holt Cemetery in 2013 and 2014. However, the graves and tombs themselves remain in a state of significant neglect, with human remains being evident. New burials continue at Holt Cemetery, and the graves show evidence for frequent visits and various cultural materials.The word "Holt" means "Dead" in Hungarian. The name "Holt" is of Proto-Germanic origin meaning a small wood or grove of trees.
