  • In the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans is one of the most iconic homes in the city. The legendary Fats Domino owns a house and studio in the neighborhood he grew up in. In 2005, the home and everything inside (along with much of the area) was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Fats lost almost everything. He doesn't live at this house anymore, but it has since been restored and sits unoccupied in a neighborhood still trying to recover from the storm and man-made disaster that happened in 2005.

    Based on your vids, I *think* we're neighbors. The CC's coffee in one of your vids is just down the street from me in RR. I think I bike past where you shot the batture vid on the levee too!

    A bit of trivia... When Fats was evacuated during Katrina he stayed in Baton Rouge at the apartment of the LSU quarterback Jamarcus Russel. Russell was dating Fat's granddaughter at the time.

    I always thought that Chubby Checker created his name a copy of Fats' name. Both first names are terms for large people and both last names are games played on a table.
