^^ It's not cut off at all. Tchoup/Religious are difficult to cross on foot or on bike, but the street grid continues uninterrupted. An extension of Convention Center Blvd to Orange would definitely help.
Has anybody been following the microbrewery debate in St. Bernard? First these jokers cry bloody murder at multi-family housing and now they're trying to stop a small business that wants to open up and create jobs for the parish. It's pretty clear to me why their economy sucks.

St. Bernard residents wary of proposed microbrewery
Published: Monday, March 12, 2012, 10:11 PM
St. Bernard Parish residents on Monday night weighed the merits of a proposed microbrewery in their neighborhood. Mainly they were critical, saying they feared potential noise and pollution.
"We don't want to be on the map for a beer company in our neighborhood," said Jimmy Besson who lives two blocks from the proposed brewery in Chalmette. "We have church nearby and a school nearby, what sort of message are we giving by putting a microbrewery right nearby?"
The previous owner of the property, Marcus Chalona, told the crowd that the property has been used for commercial or industrial purposes since at least the 1940s.
Lewis made clear that if the zoning change goes into effect, the council still must craft a microbrewery ordinance which could be very restrictive, specifying exactly how many barrels are allowed and preventing the possibility of expansion.
