Interesting little place in NOLA. After living in Haiti for over 3 years and seeing some of the concentrated verses of voodoo there, I thought this was just a silly tourist trap. Although it seemed they had some pretty authentic things. My girlfriend at the time purchased a "fertility" ring there. Well let's just say 2 years later we now have a one year old and happily married.
