      <![CDATA[I have  no doubt you were told that but it seems rather absurd since the underground railroad functioned in the border states and north to get runaway slaves to Canada so they could not be caught in the US and returned to the property owners in the slave states. The underground railroad certainly did not operate in the Deep South.

      <![CDATA[I grew up on Dominican and Millaudon, and seem to remember a distillery dominating the site of Uptown Square. You can still see evidence of where the railroad tracks accessed the site.

      <![CDATA[For those of us who grew up in Black Pearl, it was also known by another name which is too deragatory to mention. I grew up on Hillary Street and still have relatives that live on Prytania and Lowerline across from Carver Playground.
