I worked for Ryder Truck Rental as a mechanic back in the late 80’s and hod to go to the shop that was near Louisa street exit near the industrial canal bridge. Apparently there was a project near there that was horrible with crime. Some of the mechanics at that location told me quite a few stories about stolen vehicles including tractor trailer rigs that would end up at that project and the cops wouldn’t go in and help recover the stripped vehicles. Does anyone know the name of a project in that area?

Probably Desire. There was another one next to Desire that was just as bad.

Flooded during Katrina and have since been demolished.

Desire was the big project and Florida was the smaller one. The were next door to one another. I guess they were built at different times, so they had different names.
Desire was bad. Florida was worse.
