Based on what metric is Metairie "thriving"?

no one is setting up on Henry Clay on Wednesday for Thoth Sunday



I didn't mean that spot specifically. Just the day in general.

You don't honestly agree that Thoth Sunday is easier to deal with than any of the first weekend parades, right?

Oh my bad. I thought you were talking about the beginning of Thoth

Yes, that Sunday on the Neutral ground on Napoleon is extremely crowded

We have a spot on the neutral ground on Napoleon and Camp. We’re there pretty much the entire time.

Saturday after the uptown parades are over and everyone heads to Mid City for Endymion, we go back out there and mark out a bigger area for Sunday. Then we have people show up at 5-6 am Sunday morning to start setting up the tents and whatnot. All our kids are older so we don’t have ladders anymore which makes things easier.

We also have an apt on the corner of St Charles and Milan that we use as well. I’m back and forth quite a bit. Thank god for the Milan St Lounge is my halfway go to spot and Ms Maes is right there and there’s hardly ever a wait

A goodly number of the Uptown parades now "start" at Jefferson and Magazine Street. While it's not all the way to Henry Clay like Thoth, it is still already a significant area for parade-goers.

And I'm starting to get the idea you didn't read the whole thread. Nothing about Thoth Sunday is easier than the first weekend parades.

They may have gone overboard, but something had to be done. Some parades were rolling with dark and empty floats. It was embarrassing.

guess I've just had bad luck in that area with parking and traffic over the years since I get out that way a lot for work. But the first weekend parades still ave much less traffic an other issues than anything on that Sunday.
ok, so you are just talking out of your arse. There is no easier and safer parking situation than parking at the zoo for Thoth

Gentilly and then New Orleans east would both disagree with you.

I know. I was banned during MG this year so I couldn’t communicate with you and Pride. I knew y’all were supposed to be in my area. Jones and LL pussed out.

I'm not sure what you're getting at with this. I would assert that each of those places (Gentilly and NO East) have sort of experienced previously what Metiarie (at least along the Veterans corridor area) is now starting to experience.

Tell me you aren’t one of those people who thinks marking paint or surveyors tape somehow entitles you to a piece of the neutral ground.

You’re gonna have to explain this for me? I live off vets near Bonnabel and property values are soaring. Smaller houses are being bought, knocked down, and bigger ones are being put up.
