Never has there been a more hollow statement. “link”:http://www.neworleanscitybusiness.com/viewStory.cfm?recID=32300 Then couple that “with this”:http://www.neworleanscitybusiness.com/viewStory.cfm?recID=32336 and we can just forget about any decent development.

I was listening to NPR this morning and heard this interview with “John Patrick Shanley”:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98142901. It made me wonder if the forces behind the demolition of a New Orleans neighborhood have any doubt. At another point in the interview he say’s “certainty is a closed door” So there it is on the “front page of […]

Just wondering..It is coming down pretty steadily here.

To see “other videos”:http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=3804E36857CDEF0A ,and “more news”:http://www.neworleanscitybusiness.com/uptotheminute.cfm?recid=21935&userID=0&referer=dailyUpdate.

I have been reading a bit about the land aquisition in the LSU/VA footprint. The name Pincus Freidman comes up but trying to research him is a seeming dead end. This “is”:http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/pincus-freidman.asp?cycle=08 about all you can find in a regular Google search.

From what I have heard the City is planning on having them remove the entire length of the sidewalk and if they do not the City wil replace it and charge them for the replacement cost. I assume this means if there is a […]

I wrote about this house when the City tried to demolish it and “later when they tried to make the owners”:http://www.squanderedheritage.com/2008/08/23/the-city-of-new-orleans/take down a fence. And now they want them to take the paint off the sidewalk. Really? In a City where we don’t have sidewalks or streets for that matter you want them to cover […]

I guess the answer would be “when they say so”:http://www.wdsu.com/news/18189074/detail.html So while Governor Jindal “met” with “President Elect Obama”:http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/12/jindal_off_to_meet_obama_at_go.html the public was refused entrance to a public meeting. It never ceases to amaze me that the public can be held in such disregard. What are they trying to hide? Access to a pubic meeting of […]

It’s in my hood. It’s been unused since the early Nineties. There’s a big project coming that will save most of the church. The trade-off is that we had to accept enough condos so that they could afford to save the church walls and bell tower. “the above comment was left on another blog in […]
