I'm equally hopeful for the effect the Road Diet will have on Government Street. Just awful timing for restaurants and bars over there to have COVID and awful construction going on concurrently.

I had a 7pm reservation Friday night for Rocca. Turning onto Government at Jefferson the line at Government Taco was wrapped around the building, Superior, Brewbachers, Byzonz packed, Popeyes and Canes drive through lines long, Soji packed even LaCarretta was full.

With the exception of filling in the medians and a bit of stripping they are pretty much done in that area. Flows well and will help the retail and service business all along there. Try to buy a piece of real estate around there and see what it is going for.

My father bought a house on Steele Blvd and one on St Tammany in the mid 50’s first one for $2700.00 second for $4100.00. I still own one. It’s worth a bit more than that now.

Bistro Byronz building was Armstrong Veterinary Clinic before them.

Not sure. My extent of real estate knowledge only goes as far as sorting by "most expensive" and then wishing I was rich

I do feel like there are a ton of houses for sale right now. A lot of the same ones I pass each day have had signs in their yards for ages, it seems like.

Has the uptick in crime had any adverse effects on the BR housing market?

Not in mid city. Prices are still nuts due to cheap financing. I just bought in old goodwood a few months ago. Steele area homes were waaaaaaay out of my price range.
