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....

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.

Good God, I'm glad you brought this up. I forgot about going in there a few months back until just now. Seriously sometimes you hear people talk about how horrible a store is and they are prolly over exaggerating, but for real for real this may have been the worst all around store I've shopped at.

I had high hopes for that space that used to be the Chinese Food place right before that corner. They split it up and Boost Mobile and a dry cleaning place

There's also an Aio Wireless opening up right in front of the Chicken in a Box place and the Liberty bank is being rebuilt with what looks like some retail spaces included
