and the piss-poor development of the Northshore continues

Sounds like Baton Rouge where it's "let's throw another housing development here . . . rezone for commercial right next to it . . . another development in this drainage area here . . ."

And yet another strip mall is being built in Mandeville.

Now thats North Shore

Yeah, building that ridiculous thing was beyond retarded. Friend's had sucked for years before the original restaurant was destroyed. Building it back 10x bigger was certainly not going to change that.

It's amazing to me that someone would sink that much money in a venture doomed for failure. Good location was never going to make up for overpriced mediocre (at best) food.

Make sure everything is single entrance. No grid street system allowed. Dump everyone onto 8 lane clusterfricks spaced out every 5 miles.

You might literally be retarded

The growth (mostly from Madisonville) is going to turn 22 into a nightmare until it's widened but that will eventually happen and everyone's property values will continue to rise.

Man, you northshore people have one heck of a sense of humor. lol I was just goofing around. But the parish president is a criminal. And about the racetrac, the gas station developer will not likely be obligated to widen or improve anything beyond the four corners of their lot. That is what the "mandatory impact fees" are supposed to provide funding for...and yet, in more cases than not, larger developers are awarded Parish "credit" for those and don't have to pay. In the case of the St. Anthony's Garden retirement facility on Dove Park...the Parish actually PAID THEM for worthless land! And now we receive more traffic and worse flooding than ever before.

Maybe 10-15 years ago. Too many people know about it now. The cat's out the bag.
