Moon Landrieu wanted to build that freeway for economic development purposes. He admitted years later that it was a good thing he lost that battle because a freeway there would have been a disaster for the French Quarter.

Many people use to meet out there. Now people meet out there for drugs and hookers. It's one of the armpits of New Orleans. Sad to think that it was once really nice.


If it is anything like the other stretches on Claiborne there is still a good mix of both.

Damn. I’ve been to SF many times in the last 20 years. Never knew that freeway existed prior to ‘91
