Pics of hot single friend or she doesn't exist



I agree in it could be the next hot area. The thing is we have so many fire hot areas right now that it's going to slow the progress up that spread out. I think it will continue to improve no doubt....

Need a big nice grocery slap dab in the middle...

Saw a couple days ago that circle food has opened in the river end of the 7th ward

I'm there two or three times a week for my son's travel soccer team. It gets a lot of flack, but it really isn't terrible.

Shhhhhh...no it's not. Too many black people...and poors. Lots of poors.

Seriously though, I'm biased but I would have no qualms about moving to back to Gentilly. I grew up in Gentilly Terrace and my folks still live there (I'm 24 and lily white FWIW). Beautiful, old craftsman-style bungalow. Still structurally sound and not a drop of flood water during Katrina. Middle class, mixed neighborhood with low crime.

There are some rough parts and areas that still need A TON of work (St. Anthony, Ponchartrain Park, north of Prentiss Ave, south of Gentilly Blvd). But I would have absolutely no problem living in Gentilly Terrace, Lake Terrace/Lake Oaks, or the Pratt Park area.

I would love to have one in that strip near Elysian Fields and Gentilly Blvd. We have a Rouse's on the Lakefront that's nice, a Winn Dixie on Chef that's God-awful, and a Canseco's on Elysian Fields that's good for small stuff.

Gentilly has been my home all my life and I don't see it changing in the foreseeable future.

Having Circle back up and running is a Really good thing for the community.

A Walmart grocery store is also being built where the old Gentilly Woods Mall once stood.

Eta: The Walmart is being built directly across from that god awful Winn Dixie.
