The loading and unloading of bales of cotton is still a river-front activity although this scene beneath the railroad trestles is possibly not as romantic as in the days when steamships provided the transportation and the levee was jammed with singing Negroes. This is a view on Wharf street near Poplar, almost at the south limits of the proposed improvement project.
