"NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A New Orleans art gallery is closing its French Quarter shop permanently due to crime concerns.

According to a post from Kako Gallery managers, the Royal Street location’s last day of business will be Aug. 27.

“After many years of investment and great memories, we have decided to permanently close our 733 Royal Street location due to countless encounters that defines and reflects the city’s unsafeness,”

Owners encourage art enthusiasts to visit their Denham Springs show floor or to purchase art online.

Just two days before Monday’s announcement, a man was shot on nearby Bourbon Street. Police said the victim “was involved in a physical altercation with the (four) suspects when one of the suspects produced a gun and shot the victim.”

On May 22, a man was shot three blocks from the gallery near the intersection of Royal and St. Louis streets. Police arrested Frederick Boudreaux in that incident."

Even liberals are starting to realize how much of a shithole New Orleans is

They should be forced to live with the result of their voting habits

Good, now the space will open for more artists of color in order to decolonize the art industry.

No fear. That art is essentially being replaced by the beautiful hair pick of peace!

Been four days since I moved away

I was able to walk to my car in the morning not worried about having windows smashed in. Everything was still there.

But baw, don't you know? Having your windows smashed and belongings donated unsolicited is just a small price to pay to live in these vibrantly cultured cities? Just ask your fellow white Biden voters who live in places like Midtown Atlanta.

Still have my theory that this is intentional by the city leaders. They want whites gone so black businesses can come in.

I've been told New Orleans isn't for everyone. That person didn't say who it was for, but I think we can guess what she meant by that.

Not when someone gives a knee jerk political reaction that is completely wrong.


Fwiw, the owner ran for mayor as a Republican last year. Also, she is apparently running for governor next year.
