New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, 514 Chartres St, New Orleans (French Quarter), LA 70130
Tumblr media
If you’re interested in the history of pharmacy and medicine in the United States, definitely set aside an hour to check out the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. The museum was founded in 1950 and is in a historic building constructed for the first licensed pharmacist in the US, Louis Dufilho Jr. It was the apothecary and residence of the Dufilho family until 1855.
The museum is interesting for reasons that go beyond pharmacy. First, you get to see the interior of the Creole townhouse, including the courtyard where Dufilho grew plants that he used for his apothecary. You get to learn about the features of the Creole townhome.
The apothecary room in the front is filled with vintage jars of medication in stunning wooden cabinets. There’s also a small soda fountain featuring Italian marble. Upstairs, there are various displays including antique surgical instruments, prescription records, history of African American pharmacists in New Orleans, antique eyeglasses from China, France, and the US, antique bed pans, history of malaria treatments, syphilis treatments, etc. There are lots of informative signs to read.
General admission is $10 with discounts for seniors and students. There’s also a small gift shop selling books, prints, and tote bags.
5 out of 5 stars

Tumblr has gone back in time to the 1950s!
Which mutuals would you like to be there with you and what kind of characters/ stereotypes do you think they’d be? (Eg- milkman)
this...is gonna be hard
@themidnightcrimson look at you, you lil bread winner. You go to work, come home, and i have dinner cooked/and I kept our fur babies alive and I dont go to that...hmm that one road. Gives me...Mafia member while owning a little soda shop or somethin.
@maximotts & @wellsayhelloaagin because they are a duo: They would be the lil couple that like lives at the edge of town that only talks to a solid 3 people, even though they know everyone, but you always saw at the supermarket. I feel like they own like a themed book store.
@radbearx is the neighbor that knows everyone and everything--gives...owning like the diner that everyone eats at.
@caroldantops and @scarlettwlw I put them together because in my head these are those two best friends that like just are always seen at the news stand, whispering to each other and everyone wants to be friends with them. I feel like they both would would at like a record store or something like that
@wandasbb and @togrowoldinv because they are the good/bad cop who have a soft spot for me and just tell everyone that im innocent (is this a 50s trope..? i feel like im getting my decades mixed with this one but oh well)
@crescent-witch and @wandasdolly these are MY 2 friends, we're the chaos ones. that the town talks about because they aren't like everyone else but no one really hates. None of us work and we happen to be housewives
@inkblot-inc and @furys-eyepatch so I can feel like I have those neighbors that like everyone sorta just picks on but if they ever moved we would riot. I feel like they work as something important like delivering mail and..ig the milk?

MLB Fic Prompt: A Blast from the Past
In 1962, eccentric French fashion designer Gabriel Agreste believes nuclear war with the Soviet Union is imminent, and builds a secret fallout shelter beneath his backyard. Alarmed by the Cuban Missile Crisis, Gabriel takes his pregnant wife Emelie into the shelter. When an unexpected mechanical failure aboard an F-86 Sabre causes the aircraft to crash into the house above, Gabriel assumes the worst and activates the shelter's time-locks for 35 years. With the house completely destroyed by the crash, the Agrestes' neighbors and authorities assume they were killed and their property is left abandoned.
Emilie gives birth to Adrien, who is educated to a high standard by his father (including becoming fluent in several languages) and grows up on 1950s-era pop culture like I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners, and pop standards by Perry Como and Dean Martin. Above ground, a diner opens in 1965 where a young resident named Fu Wang gets his first job working as a soda jerk. The diner is sold and turned into a pizzeria, then becomes a punk club named Akuma as the suburban neighborhood deteriorates over the decades into an inner city ghetto. By 1995, is a bitter middle-aged alcoholic living in the club's condemned remains.
When the shelter unlocks in 1997, Gabriel mistakes the now-blighted neighborhood for a post-apocalyptic wasteland of irradiated mutants and decides the family must stay underground over the objections of Emilie, who, unlike Gabriel (who enjoys the seclusion) and Adrien (who knows nothing else), has never taken to living in the shelter. With supplies running out and Emilie falling ill, Adrien leaves the shelter for the first time to obtain food. He meets Fu, who had encountered Gabriel the previous night, bursting through the floor in his radiation suit. The old man convinces himself that Adrien is a god. Marveling at the outside world, Adrien purchases supplies, but then cannot remember his way back to the elevator.
Trying to sell his father's classic ~~baseball cards~~ tuxedos at a ~~hobby~~costume shop, Adrien meets Marinette Dupain Cheng, who stops the store owner from cheating Adrien and is fired. Marinette drives Adrien to a Holiday Innin exchange for a rare cravat but returns the next morning out of guilt. Adrien asks her to help him. Unaware of the value of money, Adrien agrees to her request for $1,000 a week, while also asking Marinette to help him find a wife who is "not a mutant" and is from Paris, France, per his mother's advice. Adrien meets Marinette's housemate and best friend Alya, who provides him with advice and a fashion makeover.
Marinette and Alya take Adrien to a '40s swing-style nightclub to find him a wife. Adrien attracts the attention of several women, including Marinette's nemesis Lila. Jealous, Marinette reconnects with her ex-boyfriend Luka and gets him to provoke Adrien into a fight, relenting when Adrien demonstrates his fencing skills (having trained every day with his father). Marinette is disgusted and goes home. Alya later tells her Adrien left the club with Lila. Adrien returns, explaining that he politely rejected Lila's advances, as he could only think about Marinette. He and Marinette kiss, but when Adrien admits the truth about his past and his desire to take her to be his wife "underground", she asks him to leave.
Finding the club, where Fu has recruited a full congregation to worship him, Adrien returns to Marinette's house, where she is waiting with psychiatrist Dr. Tomoe Tsurugi and her assistant to have him committed. Initially cooperating, Adrien escapes, though not before asking Marinette and Alya to collect his things and pay his hotel bill. In his hotel room, Alya and Marinette find toiletries and clothing from the '60s and absurdly valuable stock certificates in companies like IBM (which Gabriel had previously written off as "worthless") and deduce that Adrien is not crazy and was telling the truth the whole time.
As Fu and his cult load supplies into the shelter, Gabriel prepares to seal his family inside again. Marinette spots Adrien outside the club. They embrace and Adrien takes her to meet his parents. Impressed with Marinette, Gabriel and Emma agree to set the shelter's locks for two months while Adrien and Marinette make arrangements. During this time, Adrien and Marinette sell the stocks to build his parents a new home in the country, identical to their house that was destroyed, and purchase and restore a red 1960 Cadillac convertible. They help Fu rebuild the pub into a '50s-themed nightclub called Kamiko after convincing him that Adrien is not God.
Adrien reveals to his parents there was never an atomic war and that the Soviet Union collapsed peacefully, ending the Cold War. Unconvinced, Gabriel plans to build a new fallout shelter as Marinette watches while playing with her engagement ring.

Hi do you have a fic wherein Sherlock and John lived in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s? Thank you very much 💓
Reply: I'm also including the 1950's to give you some Greaserlock.
1950s
Cuss and Hold On by lifespossible (27K, E, Johnlock) Now that Godfrey Staunton's gone missing, Sherlock Holmes, the gorgeous, cigarette-smoking, fast-driving greaser might be the only person that can find him, if the police are as inept as Sherlock insists they are. And if John tags along by accident, it's simply to make sure everything goes smoothly.
How the mouth changes its shape by Breathedout (132K, E, genderswapped Johnlock, Viclock, John/OFC) 1955. Under the placid veneer of suburban playparks and middle-class conformity churns a hidden London: femmes and butches dancing close in basement bars; clandestine love between women. To Sherlock Holmes, struggling private detective and mistress of disguise, it’s a realm she renounced years before. To Johnnie Watson, daredevil ambulance driver turned auto mechanic, it’s become a little too familiar. But when someone is murdered in the washroom of the city’s most notorious lesbian club, the investigation will lead both women to reconsider their assumptions about themselves, each other, and the world in which they live.
Still of the Night by michi_thekiller (30K, E, Johnlock) 1.) Curfew must be obeyed. 2.) Streets must be clear by sundown. 3.) If you find yourself out after curfew, seek shelter at the home of a friend, relative, or neighbor whom you know and trust. 4.) Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should any unknown persons be allowed into the home after curfew. It's a vampire greaserlock kids!
Without A Doubt by prettysailorsoldier (27K, T, Johnlock) When Sherlock Holmes meets John Watson as a child in 1949, he has no idea what he's in for. Growing up in the age of drive-in movies, leather jackets, and diners and soda shops on every corner sounds pretty picturesque, but the 1950s present plenty of challenges as well, and falling in love with your best friend? Well, that's never easy.
You Give Me Fever by michi_thekiller (16K, E, Johnlock) "He's the kind of boy you want to take apart." Gratuitous Greaserlock. It's essentially 16k of mostly-porn. Warnings for underage sex between teens.
1960s
He Was A Friend of Mine by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (38K, E, Johnlock, John/OFC) This fic is a crossover placing Sherlock Holmes and John Watson squarely in the universe and storyline of the 1997 short story "Brokeback Mountain," by Annie Proulx. Get ready for John and Sherlock wearing Levi's and riding horses through the great state of Wyoming, and thank you so much for reading!
In the Deep, Where Dark Things Sleep by HardlyFair (183K, E, Johnlock) Sherlock Holmes is an islander - completely surrounded by the water. John Watson, he knows, comes from the mainland and lives for the Races. On the first of November, Sherlock will race. The man holding steady by his side is someone he never expects. - A Scorpio Races AU
1970s
Gimme Shelter by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (159K, E, Johnlock) All John Watson wants is the feeling of a freshly waxed surfboard under his feet and the hot California sun baking down onto his back. ... That's all he wants, that is, until the hot young phenom taking Oahu and the Hawaiian shores by storm steps up next to him in the sand in the second round of the 1976 International Surf Competition.
The Bone Fiddle series by Vulgarweed, htebazytook (154K, E, Johnlock) Appalachian AU! In November 1973, Vietnam vet John Watson returns to his family's old home in Arthel County, West Virginia, deep in coal country. His low expectations include recuperation and boredom. Instead he finds a ruined landscape, a series of grisly murders, and one of the world's weirdest neighbors.
1980s
Every Atom of This Summer on Your Tongue by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for (9K, M, Johnlock) While vacationing at his family’s villa on the Italian coast, 18-year-old Sherlock finds himself attracted to John Watson, an older American graduate student working on his first novel. They fall into a passionate affair, desperately wishing their languid afternoons and sultry summer nights would never end.
The Napoleon by darcylindbergh (24K, E, Johnlock) Halloween, 1989: John and Sherlock both have big plans for the night, but serial killers have the worst possible timing.
1990s
Don't Look Back in Anger by Betty_Baker It's 1994 and Sherlock is the singer for the up-and-coming Britpop band, Velvet. As the band's official tour doctor, John Watson finds himself mending wounds, treating various ailments, and developing a close relationship with the enigmatic frontman. On their European tour from Paris to Prague, the group dazzle audiences with their fresh sound and take time to enjoy some of the more hedonistic pleasures that come with being a famous rock band. John, reluctantly at first, is along for the ride.
Flight 221 by CumberCurlyGirl (45K, E, Johnlock) Two years after an injury in the Gulf War ended his military career, Dr John Watson is settling into an ordinary, predictable life. He's got a steady job, a fiancee, and everything's great…right? Flying to Boston for a medical conference, he finds himself seated next to a beguiling and oddly familiar American. When the plane is hijacked, John is back on the battlefield, but this time he's not fighting the Republican Guard in the desert. He's fighting a cold, calculating lunatic for the lives of the passengers--especially the American. Their chance meeting has dredged up a regret that John has carried for fifteen years. Can he redeem himself? And when it's over can he go back to his old life? Does he want to?

Please tell us about your Adopted Kobold DND character!
OK, so my guy lives in a 1950's town, but if a fantasy world discovered the concept of 1950's culture and tried to recreate it. His parents, Vern and Majorie are very typical, very kind family who are older but never found time to have kids. During a walk in the local (very haunted) woods they kame across baby skraak, egg tooth still intact, and decided to take him home.
Nowadays, skraak works at his parents mom n pop soda shop, which being about 3 and a half feet tall can be a little tricky. The milkshake machine is the bane of his existence.
He is a major conspiracy nut. Like, literally any conspiracy. The moon is fake but also made of cheese. The earth is simultaneously a torus and flat. Aliens, ghosts, bigfoot, etc are all very real and any person of wealth is obviously part of some nefarious plot. He has a red string board to prove it.
His other special interest is tinkering, and he's improved the shop greatly because of it.

Eliza! I want to learn more about your Greaser work for Jean for the WIP ask game!
Andrea, hello!! Ah, yes this one! Another I desperately want to write!
It started thanks to this right here
We're going back to 1950s America in the days of soda shops, drive in theaters, drive in restaurants, poodle skirts, fast cars, roller stake waitresses and teenage gangs (think Grease and the T-Birds, Happy Days, a little West Side Story).
Jean is one of the cool guys in a gang with a nice car, and has his eye on reader who works as an above mentioned waitress. She's not a model citizen but isn't associated with the 'bad' crowd. He's got a tough image to uphold, so she isn't too interested at first, but he isn't a bad dude, and they find themselves flirting while she brings him milkshake.
He loves his car and won't let anyone else touch it and keeps it running smooth and gets her to agree to a car date and they find out they really do like each other. He doesn't mind being seen with her even though she isn't one the usual girls the guys in the gang go for, and shuts up anyone who would say anything negative, and they bond further.
After having a bad night with school and work and life, he doesn't go off with the guys like usual but seeks reader out for comfort and they stay together all night (sfw :) ) and Jeans starting to wonder about his lifestyle.
But when another gang starts causing trouble, Jean and reader have a tough time too because he still has the mindset of helping his buddies and doing what he has to do, like drag race one night, and she doesn't know if she can handle it. He wants to keep her safe but she shows up the night of his race, afraid for him, and Jean has to decide if their relationship, or his reputation is more important.
Thank you so much for letting me ramble about this! I swear I don't say this about EVERY one of my WIPS (it feels like I do though LOL) but I'm really looking forward to getting this one out at some point :)
Ask me about my WIPS
