Friend,

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I think Bucktown, with its historic roots in both the seafood, music, and political landscape, must remain a separate and independent neighborhood from Old Metairie. We do need to decide if the land between W Esp and Vets is its own neighborhood or belongs to one of these historical neighborhoods.

While considering this, I would be open to extending Old Metairie’s southern border from Airline to the railroad track just south of Airline. I believe historically that these few homes fit better with Old Metairie than Shrewbury or Old Jefferson. As always, if you can provide a good reason why they should not be in Old Metairie I am always open to a good argument.

Yours,

What's a little strange is that there is a pretty noticeable difference in the houses, etc on the south vs north side of the interstate. On the north side between I-10 and Vets, the houses are smaller and/or not near as well kept up as the south side immediate few blocks

---

Because the north side retained the character of Old Metairie while the south side was inundated by the nouveau riche and their McMansions and disregard for the Old Metairie charm.

I think we should get an old Metry discount going into Macy’s

Surely you have old photos or maps to examine before Tonti and Lake Reality or whatever it was called built those damnable apartment complexes.

Back to OP, I heard the smell was from a massive botox spill

RA’d to change thread title to Old Metry borders
