Orphanages built (SNIP from Wikipedia article)
Some of the New Orleans orphanages Margaret the “Mother of Orphans” built were St. Elizabeth Orphan Asylum on Napoleon Ave., the Louise Home on Clio Street for girls, St. Vincent Infant Orphan Asylum (at Race and Magazine Streets), and an asylum and church on Erato Street that became St. Teresa of Avila Church. She donated to the Protestant Episcopal Home as well and gave to Jewish charities in New Orleans. In her will she gave to the Seventh Street Protestant Orphan Asylum, the German Protestant Orphan Asylum, the German Orphan Catholic Asylum, the Widows and Orphans of Jews Asylum, and to the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, and many others.

Carrigallen - Ireland Birthplace Of Margaret's Parents - Devotion To Margaret Haughery

Margaret Gaffney was born in 1813, the fifth child of William and Margaret Gaffney. Her siblings, starting with th eldest, were Annie (probable), Mary (Mamie), Thomas, Kevin (probable) and Kathleen, who was reputedly named after her father's grandmother. William and Margaret were from Tully South, in the parish of Carrigallen. William was a small farmer and possibly a tailor; however, Nellie Smith, Clooncorick, Carrigallen (originally O'Rourke from Tully), stated in 1937, that the Gaffneys owned a shop, but there is no other evidence to corroborate this. His wife's maiden name was O'Rourke and she was a direct descendant of the O'Rourkes of Breiffne.

Oh... and how could I forget this review!  ;-)

Lenny deserves a raise...

First off, the front desk staffer, Lenny, deserves a raise. Despite constant complaints from guests, he remains super accomodating and cheerful. He bent over backwards to right the countless wrongs after we checked in... inadequate linens/towels, no wastebasket, missing fridge/microwave/TV that was promised...
