And Fisher in Algiers.

This is correct answer. A special place that led to a high profile young white nurse sent in to assist elderly care. She was brutally raped and murdered and had an Algiers hospital named after her, Jo Ellen Smith.

Another wonderful architectural feature with Fischer was the 13 story high rise with close proximity to the GNO Miss River bridge. Several snipers took advantage of the high ground with shooting practice on unsuspecting vehicles crossing the bridge in the 70s and 80s.

Fischer is one of NOLAs great public housing achievements by the Dem led administrations.
