I think there are only 3 locations left that had ties to the distribution of baseball cards. The 2 tobacco factories listed above and General Baking Co. (Mothers' Bread).

The old H. Weil Baking building is gone... there is a bank where it used to stand. The old Tango Eggs building was demolished. It was where the W Hotel New Orleans is now at the corner of Poydras and Tchoupitoulas.

The old General Baking building is a school now and is located at 517 Soraparu Street. I haven't stopped by there yet to take pictures but here are some before and after photos:
