London Lodge

I had to laugh when I saw that the jurors were sequestered at New Orleans' London Lodge motel. In the movie, it looked like an OK motel, in relaity, it was the worst dive of a motle I'd ever seen. I saw it on my trip to Mardis Gras in 2002. It looked like a horrible inner city ghetto. Drunks were hanging around, and some ghetto single mom was hanging her laundry on a line on the motel grounds. At least one or two letters were missing from the "London Lodge" sign. Despite the fact that it was the only affordable motel we could find during Mardis Gras, my buddy and I opted to go an hour away to the Baton Rouge Motel 6 instead. They really cleaned up the London Lodge for that movie.
