re: Dixie Beer is back: New brewery planned for New Orleans East

Good on them for making use of an existing industrial property, and trying to give it some character. LOVE the replica of the old Tulane Ave. building.

That's in an industrial area, of course criminals who WANT to get to it, will. But it's not like it's smack dab on Chef Highway between old motels, check-cashing bidnisses, pawn shops and Cricket stores. It's much too big for all of that.

Last articles on Hubig's were that there is a likely unbreakable impasse between factions of the family with one side wanting to take the insurance money and run, and the other wanting to re-open. There's been nothing else, since.

As for Haydel's hey, I haven't had one, but they're a solid local bakery, and their recipe is from the early 1960s. They stepped in to fill a niche and a need, they're still in all the groceries and if they are that bad, no one would buy them. At this point, the curiosity is likely over, but someone MUST like them. Their "hand pies" are baked, not fried.
