Sounds like some ripe opportunities for minority owned businesses to take advantage of.

Versailles is getting less Vietnamese each year. A lot of Viets have moved to the westbank of Jefferson Parish or Texas. The ones that are left can't move because their house is worth shite do the lawlessness of the rest of the East. A lot of illegals live there now as well.

Why arent there more grocery stores in that area?

Is it because 'your people' steal everything and make it not profitable for the owner or is it something else?

Please inform us

Most of them are 45+. A lot of the younger Viets are moving to Metairie or the Northshore

Translation: they’re tired of stealing the same old shite and want some new options and opportunities of retail items to pilfer.

C'mon baw. You know there is probably some Confederate statues out there that need removed. Probably a few in private homes as well. If you get them all, there will be peace, harmony, and love just breaking out everywhere.

If the fed govt would adopt my plan of having food stamp recipients only able to use their SNAP cards at a food distribution center (mandatorily staffed by welfare recipients) that only gave out staple foods (no sodas, little Debbie’s, etc), then two grocery stores would probably be plenty for NO East.

and what kickbacks will come to him if he gets the deal done.


You'd think that Oliver might have learned his lesson on bribes/kickbacks. He went to prison for a couple of years for taking $10,000 from Pampy. But he didn't snitch!

So maybe he hasn't learned his lesson. It's a shame, because on a council full of shitbags, he looked like the shining light and surely would have been a mayoral contender, if not mayor. Instead, he went to jail.

Gee Oliver....let's talk about the late 80s and 90s when there was real "diversity" out there. Let's count the grocery stores that all the good people who moved in from the projects forced to close down
Crowder: Bon Marche, National Canal Villere and Winn Dixie

Read and Service Rd- Delchamps
Read and Morrison - Phil's
Chef and Read - Winn Dixie(still open)
Bullard/Morrison - Winn Dixie
Bullard - Schwegmann's

That was 8 Oliver......8 and starting with Johnny Johnson that number has dwindled....and it has been at 1 or 2 since BEFORE Katrina. 18 years Oliver....18 years . Because in reality you don't give a shite enough to tell your constituents to STOP stealing.

Like The Plaza? Why did it shut down I wonder.

The East was thriving in the 70s and early 80s. If you waited much longer to run for your life your home was rapidly depreciating.
