Pre-contact natives had long settled the area along the natural levees of the river, avoiding the routine flooding of the lower lying areas we now inhabit today. Mid-City was fully developed by 1920 and had multiple public amenities such as public transportation (http://www.gonola.com/2011/03/16/nola-history-streetcars-the-early-years.html) , pools, parks, theaters, churches, schools, restaurants and more. In September 1926 what had begun to be known as Jesuit high school opened its doors on Banks St. and South Carrollton.

Carrollton and Tulane was a stadium for our minor –> major league baseball team The Pelicans. http://nolalocal.com/new-orleans-pelicans/ [...]

He would’ve been active somewhere in the years of 1914 – 1929 … obviously a long span. He was born in 1897 in New Orleans, & I’m not certain of his playing years. He was supposedly called “Rabbit” because of his speed & was considered very good. There’s family lore that he died in jail in 1929 for unknown reasons. I’d love to hear from anyone who might have any even remotely possible awareness of this man. Thx.
