The 700 block of Toulouse Street in the French Quarter will be closed for a commercial shoot on Thursday, March 28, 2024, between the hours of 7AM and 7PM. There will be no parking for the public to allow for those ugly white trucks to idle as their Teamster drivers watch porn on their phones for 12 hours.
Expect the sidewalk to be crowded with pretentious hipsters sniffing their own farts as they act as if they are somehow important in the grand scheme of things. Be advised of tripping hazards such as cables, sandbags and snotty craft service people.
If set security should approach and inquire about your business on Toulouse Street, tell them to go fuck themselves.
