$100 million condo project planned for Central City
Remember.. that election last month when a lot of people thought they were voting for an administration that wouldn't squeeze them out and turn their neighborhoods into vacationland paradise for out of state yuppies? Remember that?
Also there's this.
In 1998, Albertsons grocery chain unveiled plans to develop a 66,000-square-foot store on the property. Preservationists upset about the size of the proposed grocery waged a long battle against the project. Albertsons pulled completely out of the New Orleans market in 2004, shuttering about a half dozen stores, and the Felicity store was never built.Correct me if I'm wrong.. but didn't the Albertson's desertion have more to do with not wanting to compete with Wal-Mart? You know.. after they bulldozed St. Thomas in order to build that.... remember that?
