Maybe by Champions Square
Although I just go to Canal Place, but your right we do need a normal Cineplex in the city proper.

Looks Like the Relocation of City Hall to Charity Hospital is dead... cant say Im surprised though. too many more pressing issues financially for the city to go spend that kind of money on a new city hall especially when half the tenants (civil courts) don't even want to be there. Guess the Civil Courts will be building there own place now.
Federal City's Phase 2 may include more retail, expanded YMCA services
Leann Logsdon recently retired to Algiers Point, and at the Federal City master plan meeting on May 31, she expressed her desire to see grocery store and pharmacy as part of their planned development. She may be in luck.
Attendees heard that talks have been held with grocers and that Property One, Inc. has taken over the task of soliciting businesses for the retail center, part of phase two development, in the meeting which took place in the Federal City Auditorium, a completed phase one project.

West Elm’s Magazine store opening in July
West Elm, an upscale retail store that features contemporary furniture designs and other home décor, will open at 2929 Magazine St. at the end of July.

Featured makers will be from around the state, with many based in the New Orleans area.
An 1,899-square-foot second-story was added to 2929 Magazine to accommodate the store.
West Elm is a subsidiary of Williams-Sonoma Inc., with more than 53 stores around the U.S. and Puerto Rico and nine in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. The New Orleans store is among eight being added to the chain.

City of New Orleans, Walmart Announce Grand Opening of New Orleans East Walmart
June 11, 2014
NEW ORLEANS, LA– A new Walmart opened Wednesday, June 11, after a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, at 8 a.m. The new store at 6000 Bullard Ave. is conveniently located off of I-10 and is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. It provides New Orleans residents shopping convenience for their grocery and general merchandise needs. The store also offers pharmacy services. The new Walmart aides in the revitalization of New Orleans East, a community that has been underserved since Hurricane Katrina. Approximately 400 jobs have been filled and twenty-five of these hires are associates formerly employed at the New Orleans East Walmart prior to Hurricane Katrina.
“The New Orleans East Walmart is yet another example of the retail boom we’re experiencing all across the city of New Orleans,” said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. “This store will create approximately 400 jobs and provide an opportunity for our residents to shop and work where they live. This is another step in rebuilding our city and restoring quality services in our neighborhoods."
“The opening of this new Walmart not only gives the residents of District E the convenience of shopping nearby, it allows the City of New Orleans to capture sales taxes on the millions that will be spent here every year -- tax money that can be used to replace street lights and pave roads,” said District E Councilmember James A. Gray II. “Additionally, Walmart acts as a magnet for development. My office has talked with numerous businesses about locating to District E. Everyone is very interested now that Walmart is opening. District E is booming.”
Fannie C. Williams Charter School marching band helped kick off the grand opening ceremony and led the procession once doors opened at 8 a.m. Local vendors including Community Coffee, Cajun Country, Abita Root Beer, and Manda Fine Meats participated in the grand opening events, offering guests samples of their products.
