				The year is 2020 and super heroes are real.&nbsp; A blend of technology, ancient magic and human determination have brought to the forefront a group of individuals prepared to fight and defend the people of the globe.&nbsp; Each country can count at least one hero sponsored by their government and some large cities can say their populace supports a team.&nbsp; Major countries have multiple teams operating inside their borders interlocked for defense.&nbsp; This has led to a great many changes in just a few short years as with the rise of super heroes has also come the rise of super villains.&nbsp; Such clashes have bordered on the realm of titans, laying waste to massive swathes of civilization and landscapes both here and in the heavens above.&nbsp; While governments have raced to acquire their own teams there have also been efforts to curb and control such excesses of power with elite military units.<br><br>Eagle Force has become the premier team for the United States of America.&nbsp; A dedicated group for truth, justice and the prosperity of American values is the ticket used to bill the group.&nbsp; Lead by the incorruptible Field Marshal Justice the team is known the world over and has done much to protect the world from harm.&nbsp; <br>Eagle Force draws to its ranks the most powerful members that each city and state have to offer, incorporating them into a unified front to battle forces of evil.&nbsp; To date the entirety of Eagle Force has only taken the field once in a combined effort to rebel an unknown menace from the realms of deep space.&nbsp; Their effectiveness was so profound that no trace of the invasion made its way to Earth.<br><br>Among the cities that can count members in Eagle Force are powerful names like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami.&nbsp; One such city that has yet to provide a member is the city of New Orleans.&nbsp; To date New Orleans has failed to sponsor, acknowledge or even field a single super hero of recognition or note.&nbsp; Their closest entity was a figure known as The Saint.&nbsp; A masterful warden of the night, the Saint was known for his acts of kindness when dealing with the poor and indigent while also deftly defeating street thugs and dangers to the city.&nbsp; Indeed the city of New Orleans may have found a hero in The Saint if not for the revelation that the super hero was indeed the mayor of New Orleans.&nbsp; Such information came about when the mayor was being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for embezzling public funds and later investigated by a Federal Commission on Elite Individuals on using his status as a super hero to manipulate the real estate market and advertising.&nbsp; The Saint was eventually placed in a federal prison for his corruption.<br><br>The last interaction of Eagle Force with the city of New Orleans came oddly when a super villain named The Controller emerged.&nbsp; An epic battle was fought between him and a young hero known as Sky Siren.&nbsp; He would go on to use his powers to publically torture, humiliate and mutilate the super hero on national television.&nbsp; This would force the rest of the team to descend on him in mass to cause his destruction.&nbsp; As such New Orleans became known for the tragic tale of the Siren rather than for being a place for super heroes.&nbsp; Sadder still is that the city has long learned to do without and accept the world as it stands today.<br><br>

				<span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Treme</strong></span><br><strong><em>Aspects</em></strong>: Birthplace of Jazz, Restless Spirits of Freedom<br><br>New Orleans' Tremé neighborhood is geographically the part of the city that lies between North Rampart and North Broad, and from Canal Street to St. Bernard Avenue. The area received its namesake from Claude Tremé, a model hat maker and real estate developer who migrated from Saugivny in Burgundy, France, and settled in New Orleans in 1783. Tremé owned only a small portion of the area that bore his name and was in possession of it for just a decade.<br><br>In later years, free persons of color and eventually those African slaves who obtained, bought, or bargained for their freedom were able to acquire and own property in Tremé. There are hundreds of examples of 18th and early 19th century ownership of large and small land areas in Faubourg Tremé by free persons of color. The ability to acquire, purchase, and own real property during an era when America was still immersed in slavery was remarkable and only in New Orleans did this occur with any regularity and consistency.<br><br>Today, New Orleans' Tremé neighborhood is the locale for visitors and natives alike to celebrate the achievements of African Americans. Various celebrations like second-line parades and jazz funerals are only a few of the lively ways Tremé honors its heritage. Scholars and historians have shared their immense knowledge with New Orleans residents and now Tremé is home to several museums dedicated to African American life, art, and history, as well as Armstrong Park, a memorial to the great jazz legend Louis Armstrong.<br><br>The Tremé is still one of the major hotbeds for live music in New Orleans. This neighborhood invented jazz, and today it is still dotted with underground music clubs. Favorites include the Candlelight Lounge and the Andrews family’s famous Ooh Poo Pah Doo Bar.<br><br>In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Tremé neighborhood received minor to moderate flooding. In the portion of the neighborhood in from I-10, the water was generally not high enough to damage many of the old raised homes.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Locations</strong></span><br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Louis Armstrong Park and Congo Square</strong><br><strong><em>Aspects:</em></strong> Always Crowded<br><br>Just beyond the French Quarter, all you have to do is look for the arch of Louis Armstrong Park on Rampart Street to know that you've found the Tremé. The 32-acre Armstrong Park is the neighborhood's dominant landmark. Within its gates you'll find the legendary Congo Square where the enslaved, free people of color, Europeans and Americans gathered throughout the 18th and 19th century on Sundays to drum, dance and trade. Here, African dance, rhythms and drum beats survived despite oppression and contributed to the first forms of jazz music and modern American dance.<br><br>Armstrong Park is also home to the Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts which hosts the Louisiana Philharmonic, New Orleans Opera Association, dance performances and Broadway Across America productions. The 2,100-seat theater offers a wide-range of entertainment.<br><br><br><strong>St. Louis Cemetery No. 1</strong><br><strong><em>Aspects:</em></strong> City of the Dead, Labyrinthine, Forest of Stone<br><br>Treme is also home to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Founded in 1789, the cemetery is located at Basin and St. Louis Streets and is one of New Orleans' most famous "cities of the dead." St. Louis No. 1 was immortalized in the film Easy Rider and is the final resting place of civil rights activist Homer Plessy and New Orleans' most famous Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau.<br>
