Yeah, a pirogue' is a boat used in marshes and swamps down in louisiana. And a neutral ground is name we call a median (the ground between the highway). It originated a long time back when the city was seperated by the french and italian. It was the meeting spot, the neutral ground. And the name just stuck.
