re: Smell outside in Old Metairie

What's a little strange is that there is a pretty noticeable difference in the houses, etc on the south vs north side of the interstate. On the north side between I-10 and Vets, the houses are smaller and/or not near as well kept up as the south side immediate few blocks

Because the north side retained the character of Old Metairie while the south side was inundated by the nouveau riche and their McMansions and disregard for the Old Metairie charm.
