the resulting subsidized housing transition that followed and been a huge cause of decay. I know MANY algerines that consider algiers the westbank - and they aren't newcomers.


I've heard a lot of this from high school classmates...

The industrial collapse is quite real, I go down Engineers Road and Peters Road a lot when I'm down there, combine the loss of industry there with the closure of Avondale, and you can see a lot of causes of decay.

Besides Algiers Point and Old Gretna, Old Westwego is a pretty nice area as well. I still have a lot of family living there spread from Westwego to Algiers Point (west to east) and Jesuit Bend/Lafitte (North/South)
