If it wasn't so far away from work/places I like/etc. it wouldn't be a bad option.

Also, Jones is from Gretna and it's awful IMO.


That statement may be a little dramatic. It's no paradise but it's definitely not awful.

I ate at the IHOP on the west bank yesterday and its the best IHOP ive ever been too by far. The IHOP in metairie is a fricking joke and disgusting


G-d put a moat between that place and civilization for a reason.

You used to have to pay your way back to the east bank.

You don't want to step toe-to-toe with Metry on chains. Our Chain Game too strong.

Oakwood is about to get a remake.... Do you have a ferry that takes you to canal street for free on a bike??? (Think that still runs, I use to catch it often when it ran in intervals from canal to jackson)

Also the DQ blizzards that opened up in Aug of the expressway is legit (haven't been out to metry in a while so not sure have that)

Gretna has better restaurants, better shopping, less traffic.


It has a couple of good places to eat, but Metaire even with it's row of chains tops Gretna's choices. Even if Terrytown and Algiers are added in.

Traffic isn't that bad, but it can be the suck crossing that bridge sometimes.

Better shopping? What the Lakewood mall?

Westbank has 2, and the one on Airline is almost to Kenner anyway...Another reason why Gretna>Metry

Damn straight.
If only we had neighborhood bars like everywhere else in the region. The only bars in Kenner or for urban types and the people who dropped out of Bonnabel freshman year.

Not for long. They are tearing down the complex it's in and putting up a Wal Mart. PTB is moving to Tulane.

No shite.

I live in Gretna and am thinking of moving to Metairie. Gretna's not bad but it's surrounded by too much ghetto.

Well we don't have a body of waster between us and canal street, so we wouldn't need a ferry to take us there.
Also, I am a grown man with a car, so i don't need to ride my bike as a means of transportation.

Andrea's is easily the worst restaurant in the state. You can go to any gas station in the hood and ask for a meal and it's better than Andrea's. I do not see how Andrea's makes any money with all the much better Italian options.

The chains are better on the west bank. Thats not even up for debate. They arent as busy. Less wait time.

You are kidding yourself about traffic. The traffic on clearview, causeway, veterans and i10 is awful compared to the west bank. You are delusional.

frick the mall. The west bank has a rooms2go outlet, better movie theater than the clearview piece of shite

Where do Westwego and Avondale fall? They don't make the list.
