Tchoupitoulas: Coolest Street Name

Tchoupitoulas Street runs along the river in New Orleans beginning at about the Morial Convention Center and running out about the Audubon Zoo. It is named after an Indian tribe that long ago lived along the river. A landmark is Tipitina's, a music club at the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Napoleon Avenue. A great New Orleans album, The Wild Tchoupitoulas, was made by a Mardi Gras Indian group back in 1976.
