- The Dew Drop Inn, the creation of Frank Painia, was a barbershop, restaurant, hotel, lounge, and performance venue at the heart of black society and culture in New Orleans from the 1940s through the 1960s. Hearkening back to the vaudeville era, floorshows at the Dew Drop featured dancers, comedians, and novelty acts as well as a house band that played the hits of the day and backed a variety of artists.

This is priceless audio history. I suggest transcribing this stuff and putting it into a book form, add some pictures. Very important. The various bookshops and museums would love it and people would buy it. I remember the Dew Drop sign was on Lasalle up until at least 2005. I wonder what happened to it. The Third Ward has a history just like the French Quarter.
it is still there!
@@BloodyMaryNewOrleans the sign is still there? was it taken down for a while and put back up? regardless, it's nice to know it's back. i can just imagine all the musicians that played there, like Ray Charles.
