A couple of weeks ago, my wife an I made a trip to New Orleans to run in the Saints Kickoff 5K. Since the run was early Saturday morning we decided to get a hotel room Friday night. My wife just happened to book a hotel one block from a couple of the old tobacco factories.

The old Liggett & Myers building is now a law office and houses the Austrian consulate.
The old People's Tobacco building is a warehouse and a parking garage. All of the windows are blacked out so I couldn't get a peek inside.
Here's a shot showing the close proximity of the two buildings. The brown building in the foreground is the old People's Tobacco and the tan colored building at the end of the photo is the old Ligget & Myers building.
