A couple LSU researchers are making New Orleans history more accessible to smart phone users. The coming-soon app will cover the New Marigny, Esplanade, Mid-City, and Holy Cross neighborhoods from 1800 to 1940. Using surveys, antique maps, hand-drawn sketches and aerial shots combined with current pics of houses, the app will ideally provide before-and-after shots of historic districts. [Advocate]
