I think a lot of the interstate problems are exacerbated by the other issues.

The bussing case caused booms in the suburbs and outer parishes as people moved out of bad school districts.

It also generated a boom in the unincorporated areas of the city from 1980 to now, as people moving to the suburbs caused the businesses to expand there.


Back in 1980, Essen Lane was considered “out in the country”, as only NBC 33 was out there. Then OLOL was built and things took off. Now it is one of the most heavily built up sections of town.

OLOL was built there in the mid to late 70s and yes that put Essen on the map
