I just hope they don't do anything to change the Overpass area before developers can figure out how much more shite they can cram into the area.
You mean the sandwich shop and restaurant built in place of the old hardware store that burned? That's pretty much it for development there in the last 50 years.

Yeah that isn't true.
50 years? I grew up one street off the overpass. It has changed a shite ton. That whole strip with jimmy johns/sushi/yoga studio/etc, Zippys, Parrains, Schlitz, Chelsea's moving under the overpass, Ivars changing owners and remodeling, etc. They also added sidewalks, landscaping, redid the roads, added a median further down the road, etc.
It used to be a gas station and a hardware store (and Icehouse).

When is the last time you went down there? Since Perkins Road hardware burned they've added Street Breads, Magpie, Frankie Dog, Shitz and Giggles, A smoothie joint, Jimmy Johns, Crispy Catch, City Pork, 3 or 4 apartments and several women's boutiques. I know I'm missing something. All in that little stretch between the light at the off ramp and where Perkins goes over the tracks.

Actually the new shopping center with Acme and Galatoire's etc. was a big addition.
The other small additions just compound things.
That area is maxed out now.
