Study up on your history, brah!
Judge Perez Drive is no longer named after Leander...
Funny thing is, MLK was one of the names that was proposed if they would have renamed it anything else...
That wouldn't have flown in Da Parish back in them days... Maybe now, but not back then.

Judge Perez Drive is a major, four-lane thoroughfare located in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The road was originally named Goodchildren Drive, but was renamed in 1972 for former political boss of St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes, Judge Leander Perez (died 1969). However, in the late 1990s, St. Bernard officials chose to distance themselves from Leander Perez's segregationist legacy, and instead dedicated Judge Perez Drive to the memory of Melvyn Perez, a long-time judge in St. Bernard—thus distancing the Parish from Leander Perez's controversial legacy without the expense of changing the signs labeled "Judge Perez Drive".

Call it whatever you want, but the street is no longer dedicated to Leander... So your argument is invalid...
NEXT!

yup
definately much different. I'm going to have to sell my grandmother's house. Starting to see petty crimes like vandalism and petty theft.
When I was growing up it was a tight knit community, I called all my grandmother's neighbors aunt and uncle, and everybody looked out for each other.
Those days are gone. It all started to happen slowly when Kaiser shut its doors, but it accelerated exponentially after Katrina.

Good luck with that... My Mom is trying to sell her house on Palmisano Blvd which is a very prominent street and once a somewhat prestigious neighborhood, but now it's practically a 'hood. "Trash" walking all up and down the streets in that area now. This was NEVER seen back when I was growing up down there.

You want to replace a crook and racist with another crook and racist?
