herring,
Thank you for those pics and history of Charity N.O.
I lived here all my life and enjoyed reading about CHNO as it was back then.
I remember going there, with my mom and dad, to visit my uncle. My parents took turns staying with me in the front of the hospital where there was a waiting area detatched from the hospital. Obviously, they had a strict policy about children visiting, unlike today when we see parents bring babies to the units, and let them crawl all over the floor. UGH!
Thanks again, are you from N.O.?
