During the colonial period, uptown was once plantation land far as the eye could see. That was until towns started cropping up around each other, all claiming independence as their own identities. Neighborhoods like Lafayette, Jefferson City, Greenville, and Carrollton were all once their own small hamlets until annexed by the greater City of New Orleans. Soon enough the year 1874 saw the birth of one of the more culturally and racially diverse parishes in New Orleans.

In the present, Uptown is a primarily upper-middle class neighborhood of working professionals. St. Charles Avenue, the city’s millionaire’s row, also bisects through the district. Like they had in the past, though, stately homes give way to poorer neighborhoods once one crosses South Claiborne Avenue. Plantations separated their populations by white wolf in the big house, while smaller shanty towns of shacks housed the Negro workers.

Kindred Residents

As is so often the case, kine mirror Kindred; Anarchs like Shep Jennings and Desirae Wells dwell in and around Broadmoor, where they can just look “across the tracks,” as it were, and watch privileged parasites like Pierpont McGinn put the finishing touches on yet another expensive haven.
