GCL--A Tribute

This past week, my alma mater Tulane University, and the city of New Orleans, lost an icon--Granny Cart Lady. For years, she would stalk the sidewalks and hallways of Tulane University, pushing her cart, yelling inside the library for new issues of the Tulane Hullabaloo, and using curiously funny racial slurs like 'niglet'. I can't imagine that now the next generation of Tulane students are never going to experience the sheer joy that is a Granny Cart Lady sighting. She was truly a Tulane institution in and of herself. She will be missed.

I'm the photo editor for the Wolf magazine, and we are doing a story on Granny Cart- Lady. We needed some photographs and we were hoping you could lend us some...All photo credit will go to the photographer

That's cool. These photos aren't mine, though (whoops). I got them from the Granny Cart Lady facebook page. I suggest you post your request there.

I've tried but you need to be accepted into the group, do you by any chance know who took them, so i could message them over Facebook. please and thanks

Update: Since I only know one of the many GCL photographers, I contacted the FB group's founder & she sent a mass e-mail to her members about submitting photos to your magazine. You should expect some e-mails soon.

Nelson-this is great.

I'm pretty upset I missed out on my 3rd year of GrannyCartLady, I was banking on seeing her during mardi gras.

I loved having class with GCL, I'm sure her attendance was better than mine...My English teacher spoke about her in class freshman year and it's too bad future classes will miss out...She is the kind of person that makes New Orleans truly unique and interesting.

Ms. Hardy - I will always remember the time you blurted out about 'justice' during Prof. Mack's crime and punishment class. It turns out that some deep south 1920s and 30s upringing will give you a slightly heavier view about how to punish robbers. Oh my, the professor went red and the class erupted in laughter. I will never meet someone so amazing. She was dedicated to going to class and learning until the day she died. Rest in peace.
