In the bio-district's blueprint, that tall 10-story very dated building for seniors is completely gone. Maybe that's an accurate sneak-peak for the future of this site. With the new high-rise for seniors going adjacent to the old Texaco building on Canal as part of the Iberville revitalization, perhaps the need for this dilapidated old building isn't there anymore. ______________________________________________ Also, I saw concrete being poured into the foundation for the University Medical Complex. Looks like the complete slab will be in the next week or two. _______________________________________________ Also, finally NOLA has standardized the sidewalk materials for the DDD!!! http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s...t_down_in.html :yes: |

The FMIA wants out of the proposed hospitality district because Vialou thinks it'll turn Frenchmen into Bourbon...
Dear god, is there anything that these NIMBYs don't hate? He's already screamed at my face so close that I could feel the spit hitting my nose about something or another....just saying. http://neworleanscitybusiness.com/th...lity-district/ Anyway, I like this concept A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::notacrook::cheers: "Ski lodge meets hooters" http://neworleanscitybusiness.com/th...-orleans-area/ 5 locations in GNO in 5 years? Seems ambitious when Hooter's only has 2? At least one..is there one on the WANK? I miss the French Quarter one...that's prime location. I say we have a forum happy hour at the first one that opens. http://www.twinpeaksrestaurant.com/ And yes...this is a development related picture because the forum needs to see the inside of the restaurant and it's character (baton rouge location courtesy of their website): http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7212/7...432c1bc7_z.jpg |

BTW even though Im not into brestaurants for obvious reasons I will say Twin Peaks is very well done and you will never go to a Hoooters again. Plus the food is pretty decent! Bet the soon to be former Hard Rock Cafe is a possible location for them ! |

I go to LSU (graduating in this may!:D) and I've seen the Twin Peaks in Baton Rouge. Judging by the cheesy suburban design I would imagine these locations would only be in places like Metairie or Slidell. The building design is basically made to look like a wooden ski-lodge and would stick out like a sore thumb in New Orleans. Suffice to say, I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants in the suburbs... I also don't get why the local media keeps referring to the "breast-raunt" craze considering the only other time they talked about it was when Happy's (also in BR) was being built downtown. In BR, Happy's is just seen as a bar. |
Reminds me of Tilted Kilt, which is [vaguely Scots-Irish] pub-themed instead of ski lodge-themed. Several conservative Chicago suburbs got their panties in a bunch when Tilted Kilt tried to open in their communities (I think they all ended up getting approved, though.)
Because good things come in pairs, I second the suggestion for a Twin Peaks meetup... |
Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.
$100,000,000 of investment around OC Haley taking place. The City will also reduce it from 4 lanes to 2!!
http://www.abc26.com/news/newswithat...0,215015.story Hopefully when (if) the South Market District gets built, it will provide a seamless transition, better tying that neighborhood to the CBD, while benefiting both. |
Wow, the road diet is an unexpected piece. The $1 million figure is really too low for a sidewalk expansion or a neutral ground, so I'm guessing they'll accomplish the narrowing with diagonal parking, which is crappy for cyclists (cars backing up cannot see approaching traffic).
On the positive side, a good deal of street parking will discourage landowners from providing their own parking, assuming the city allows it. Can I say that it's a bit shameful when private industry is willing to spend $100 million in the corridor while the city can only chip in a measly $1M for pavement patching and some paint? |
Drury Update
The crane/drill has been moving around quite a bit on the property so I guess they're drilling these things pretty quickly.
I didn't get a shot of all the rebar...oh well, but it's been a steady flow of concrete trucks coming in and dumptrucks taking out dirt. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7071/7...822167bd_b.jpg |
OC Haley
Umm most of that $100 million is public money too. The NORA building with elderly housing and the home renovations are both done with Federal funds.

Mid City Market
Mid City Market on Carrollton is moving along pretty quickly. All the pilings for Winn Dixie are in place. The existing hardware etc building is totally gutted and all the soil is in place for the front buildings as well. At this pace they will be able to open by the projected early 2013 date.

West Bank awaits development following bridge expansion
CityBusiness has an article, "West Bank awaits development following bridge expansion."
Some of the biggest open pieces of land in Jefferson are over there, it'll be interesting to see what ends up being built. |
