NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Carrie Mingo Douglas can rattle off notable families in her Pontchartrain Park neighborhood with ease: Henry B. Dejoie Jr., grandson of Louisiana Weekly founder C.C. Dejoie Sr., owns the red brick home near Congress Drive and Frankfort Street.
Civil rights leader Dr. William Roosevelt Adams and his wife Linda Adams once owned the “rambling ranch”-style house on Congress Drive on which they would string hundreds of lights at Christmas.
