This is a fine establishment and the owners have always been a good neighbor. When I lived in Treme, only a block away from Little Peoples, they were the glue that kept the neighborhood together. Every time that I go back and visit, which is a few times a year, the positivity still emanates in a profound way. This place is a treasure to our community, so please help Little Peoples get properly licensed and allow for this fine institution to continue being the positive force that they are in the community.

Using regulation to destroy our historic culture is a far bigger sin than operating without a license. Issue them a warning. Give them the opportunity for compliance and try not to destroy what little of traditional New Orleans that is still left.

With all the financial concerns we have on the state level, you would think this would not be a priority. Tobacco usage and sales are down statewide. Maybe we should proportionally remove funding from the ATC and give it to education and medical care.

Please stop trying to destroy the rich culture of New Orleans.

The threatened closure of a long time institution such as this is yet another step towards the gentrification and pasteurization of New Orleans into Anytown, USA. Shame on the anonymous complaintant, and shame on the city for entertaining the notiom of shutting this neighborhood anchor down.

Please end the relentless march toward erasing New Orleans's cultural heritage & keep this place open!

The Little People's Place is one of those things that makes Treme special. Let's keep it around for another 64 years.

Please let our places stay open. Closing this wonderful place because of an anonymous threat will only endanger the neighborhood and the culture that depends on it. These are good neighbors and should not shut down!

It's a staple in a community of rich culture. They are Treme.

This place is New Orleans. This place is vital to the fabric of its neighborhood, Treme. This is a place that has documented the people of its community, as evidenced on the walls. And when establishments, such as The Little People's Place, are shuttered--it is this city, that so many love and even more profit from-- a revenue that is often not reinvested into its breadwinning culture, that shifts New Orleans into just another city in America. We are not that.

I visited The Littke Peiples Place with my daughter who lives around the corner. The owner is welcoming and the place feels more like a part of his home than a business. Please keep it open.

I have been a Treme resident around the corner from Little People's Place for over 4 years now. I have been visiting Little Peoples for over 20 years, whether I was residing in Bayou St John or the French Quarter. Little Peoples is not just another corner bar. It is an institution. It is where many of the families in this neighborhood celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and marriages. It is a place where the neighborhood gathers to celebrate the life of those who have passed away. It is a building that serves as a welcoming gathering place for the community in all its diversity. The loss of this establishment, or the loss of the business from the family that founded it over 60 years ago, would be yet another devestating loss to the traditional fabric of this community.
