Storyville mug
Former red-light district of New Orleans from 1897-1917. It was bounded by Iberville St., Basin St., St. Louis St., and N. Robertson St. Most of this former district is now occupied by the Iberville Projects, a dangerous housing development located right on top of the French Quarter. Storyville was closed down by the federal government (specifically Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels) as a "bad influence" during World War I in 1917. The closure was over the strong objections of the New Orleans city government; New Orleans Mayor Martin Behrman pronounced that, "you can make prostitution illegal, but you cant make it unpopular." After 1917, when Storyville was shut down, separate black and white underground dens of prostitution emerged around the city. Storyville continued in a more subdued state as an entertainment center through the 1920s, with various dance halls, cabarets, and restaurants. Speakeasies, gambling joints, and prostitution were also regularly found in the area despite repeated police raids. Almost all the buildings in Storyville were demolished in the 1930s to clear the land for the building of the Iberville Projects. While much of the area contained old and decayed buildings, the old mansions along Basin Street, some of the finest structures in the city, were also leveled.

The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not

What is there to say? It's a mug, with a word in front and the definition in back. Nicely done!
This will be the perfect gift this winter! It even came in a nice little box. The mug seems to be of good quality. It was a bit pricy, got to be honest, but it’ll be very well received.
