Article Photos: Historic Treme in New Orleans celebrates 200 years



  In this Oct. 11, 2012 photo, Cinnamon Black, a Treme Baby Doll, performs with the Treme Brass band at an evening concert in Armstrong Park in the Treme section of New Orleans. The historic New Orleans neighborhood where immigrants, free people of color and slaves were allowed to own property, worship on Sundays and gather in public to dance and play music, has hit a milestone. It was roughly 200 years ago that cottages were built and a community established just beyond the French Quarter in the area named for French milliner and property owner, Claude Treme. The neighborhood is considered one of America's most unique, and it is getting a new lease on life thanks, in part, to the spotlight provided by HBO's series, âTreme.â It's also at the center of a $4 billion redevelopment plan.
