Hi adrien, I love your work! I wish I could display my thoughts/solutions as well as you do. I want to offer you an idea I had on the clock to see what you think. I came to think the clock represented the old grandfather clock in the Hotel Monteleone on Royal Street. It's a clock of similar fashion and the floors in the lobby are a plaid pattern like in the image. There is a carving of a wolf on the side of the clock and there is a wolf on one of the plaid tiles in the image and on the same side of the clock. The bartender from the revolving bar in the hotel could be the guy fixed in the smaller circle on the clock in the image. The circle representing revolving motion. There are also carvings of jester's heads above the rolling bar so the guy could be a combination jester/bartender.

TY, i like this clock which really looks like the illustration and especially the wolf on the side. This hotel is in the same street as the place saint charles. On the other hand, I do not see any connection with the jester or the bartender. I notice that this hotel is also in my alignment ^^.

21 meter for 21 a bit weak IMO. Here are two other options. One obvious and the other a bit more intriguing! 1) Middle of 21 or middle of 10 + 11 on the clock or 10:30 position. Meh! 2) Middle of 21 from perspective of someone standing on the blue dot below. Maybe. 21 is 9 o'clock in 24 hr time so middle of 21 would be 9:30 position. A bit better. The clock guy is looking at 9 (21) and pointing with his boot hand to 9:30. Even better?! [ADDED] Middle of 21 = Half past 21

I’ve looked into several areas in New Orleans and the City Park/Storyland area is one of the most promising.
Take a close look at the hand and arm in the image. The thumbnail is chipped right? Heard all kinds of theories such as crawdad tail shape. When I look at it the first thing that comes to mind is the letter “c” in the Pac-man logo. Pac-man came out in 1980, it was extremely popular with the same demographic that would have had a copy of The Secret. Next look at the dark mark at the first knuckle on the thumb, could pass as “I”. Then on to the wrist area and you’ll see the “T”. Finally, right above the cuff on the arm is a very distinct “Y”. Put it all together and it spells “CITY” right there in plain sight.
Most people refuse to believe it, but I’m sold that the images in the back of the book contain additional clues. For New Orleans one that has some clear connections is Tupperwerewolves on pages 136-37. A few things stick out in the image on page 137. Toward the top right corner on the window frame you should see a clear “Tad”. I had no clue what that was until I found Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park, adjacent to Storyland! Next, the checkerboard pattern....why? Well another word for a checkerboard would be a grid. A football field is known as a gridiron. Finally, look at the olive jar. Single lonely olive and a couple weird cylinders...sure looks like a football going through uprights!
Then you have that verse match that supports this:
In the middle of twenty-one From end to end
A football field has exactly 21 lines from end zone to end zone!
Boston had a baseball field in the solve, really looks like New Orleans has a football field in its solve, most likely involves the one at Tad Gormley Stadium based on the clues. I’d start poking around this area and see if anything else matches image and verse. Unfortunately a lot has changed in 40 years, won’t look like it did in 1980.
