In 1943, a Mexican artist in New Orleans sculpted a statue of a Woman Reservist (United States Marine Corps) named Molly Marine. Displayed on Canal Street, she can still be found in the city today.

Mother’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1938 on Poydras Street’s “Restaurant Row”, situated between a thriving waterfront and the courthouse. Owners Simon and Mary (Mother) Landry and his large family cooked up po’ boys for lines of longshoremen and laborers, newspapermen and attorneys.
