We did Milan a few times last weekend. That's a pretty sweet area.

Which is sad. I used to live on Carondelet (the bad side of the tracks) near MLK ~5 years ago. It's an awesome area from St. Charles to the river. Lot's of stuff to do and a quick walk to the WHD/CBD/FQ. Unfortunately, despite some potentially really nice houses, the area around MLK will never get gentrified.

Dammit, I meant to stop by Lester Earl's place today. I knew I forgot to do something.

I always thought that you were in the CBD proper. This was me back in the day:

The place was incredible, and the gate kept out the riffraff. Would never live on that side of St. Charles if not for the extra security, but I really enjoyed my time in the area. 5 minute walk to Avenue Pub, the WHD, and some good restaurants.

I am in the CBD. Another poster lives on baronne between calliope and mlk

That are has made leaps since Katrina for sure.

I'd live in those digs

OK, I assumed that "famous OT poster" = you.

Growing up we used to watch the Saturday and Sunday parades at St. Charles and Thalia. Now I'm rarely past Jackson watching a parade. For this reason.
