When was the Bottoms ever up and coming? My mom lived in mall city in the 60s and she said it was fine but I'm pretty sure the Bottoms has been a shithole for a long time.
Gardere wasn't that bad in the early /mid 90s.

Gardere
My buddy and I were looking for an apartment right after college in 2007. We had a line on a place that was two bedrooms and all utilities included. It was newly remodeled. All in $580 a month. Money.
Call up my mom to tell her we found the place. It’s down Gardere and hang a left.
She told me right quick not to sign anything and come home. Come to find out the remodel was because the place got shot up.

There's been talk about gentrifying the area in between LSU and downtown (the Bottom) for years but it's still the same old shithole.

It was basically built as the original hood for BR because the sort of hilliness of the streets was not seen as desirable. I always thought it looked quite charming the way the streets sloped down the little bluff, though, and sad that it wasn’t likely seen as such by more affluent types back in the day.

California developers dropped a lot of money buying up apartment complexes in Gardere right after Katrina. Within a few years they had been stripped of copper wiring, toilets and sinks even if occupied.
Flooded like a mofo in 2001 from an early season tropical storm. Since then, I scratch my head when I see people buying homes anywhere between Highland and the river, especially where there are well known sand boils on years the river is high.

Wut? It was turning into a shithole when I lived there from 83 to 84.
