re: How did New Orleans East get so bad?

I was born in 80 and went to the Plaza mall in the east since it was closest to Chalmette. My mom had a credit card to one of the the places there so she hung on for a while. It started with a packed place with a skating rink to where in the early/mid 90s it seemed like every other store was closed.

No I am 33. My dad used to live there for a few years and always had great things to say. Being from Baton Rouge I never had any reason to go to New Orleans East and the other day was my first time. I know they have a lot of crime there for awhile but I didn’t know if it was because they were the hardest hit area after the storm or not.

The east took off in the mid 70's... It was great..
Learned how to ice skate at the plaza...
They built a shite ton of apartments that went to crap...
That's when it got bad...

The Disney project fell through.

It doesn't have any of the historic character that the rest of the city has -- especially in terms of architecture. You would never know that you were in New Orleans driving down any streets in the East.

Unless your tour guide was TulaneLSU. I hope he gets his van running soon.

It was basically a swamp that developed in the 70's...

I actually did enjoy his Top 10 "skyscrapers" of New Orleans East thread.

Right. But, I was mostly referring to the architecture over there. Whenever the area was being developed, homebuilders did not construct houses in the architectural styles that make New Orleans so unique.

Had my old college roommate talk me into going to the Plaza, for some reason, who knows, back in 1990. It was basically full of tennis shoe shops and many a mall's versions of Soul Train Fashions stores..
