I'm assuming that there isn't even a plan in place for replacements. Is that right?

Get ready for MLK BLVD and Arthur Ash Square, and Harriett Tubman Circle. All attuned with horrible, rushed sculpture monuments.


You know Mitch and Miss Piggy will push for a Barrack Obama Parkway or statue. To hell with NOLA, murder capital of the world and not a "leader" there deals with that.

Martin Luther King has nothing to do with New Orleans. Are there any statues of him?

Dammit, sorry guys I fell asleep before I could get to the monument and make sure it remained in tact. Plus Uber to the JD Monument wasn't cheap last night.

So not only is streetcar, bus service, and local traffic fricked up because of this crap, but WDSU reported that the Entergy customer service location at the corner is closed due to this. They want people to go to the Algiers location. I'm sure people are gonna love that

They have Bienville in the Quarter.

It will almost assuredly be attacked also. Forget he was the founder of New Orleans, he massacred Indians and most assuredly owned slaves. Erase him from history.

Knowing that service location, the city will be pissing off the very people they expect to pander to with the statue removal.
