NOLA has Tent City and Mass Shootings; Metairie has a "touch of the Bellagio"

"I have been to Vegas, and they have the Bellagio. And how beautiful is that?" Giorgio said.
Metairie will find out soon. In late August, contractors will break ground -- or, water -- to install Giorgio's vision: six illuminated fountains that can change color in the Veterans canal, surrounded by landscaped canal banks.
The $250,000 project is run by the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, which helped coordinate donations from several businesses that front the proposed project and from several non-profit beautification groups. The donations supplement revenue from businesses in the Veterans Commercial Parkway Overlay Zone, where the public money is earmarked for beautification.
Work is expected to end by December. "Hopefully by Christmas, we'll have Christmas colors up," Giorigio said.

I'd pee in it.

yeah I saw that. Nothing like trying to fancy up a drainage canal.
Posted on 8/12/14 at 2:24 pm to Winkface
I always thought those canals were kind of ugly.
Too bad there are so many miles of it. Too expensive to make it all nicer.
Lots of money for a block.

Posted on 8/12/14 at 2:29 pm to tgrbaitn08
It's so stupid. Can we not use all that money to actually fix something???
Posted on 8/12/14 at 2:30 pm to Winkface
That will definitely be interesting.

I think it's on the other side of Causeway. In front of Massey's/Mellow Mushroom.

Not far. This is across from Mellow Mushroom and from the article the owner of MM had a lot to do with this.

Not sure the money would have been donated then.
