Trump will be in Old Metairie this afternoon



Not surprising, i used to see David Vitter at the CC’s coffee there.. guess he was getting caffeinated up before going to see that madam on Canal Blvd and getting all diapered up and spanked.

Also I’m pretty sure Scalise lives in the area, and lots others of that ilk.. hope Trump’s motorcade gets stopped at the Metairie Rd railway tracks!

i thought Old Jeff was supposed to be a decent area too, guess it’s got a ways to go.



Old Jeff has some really cool areas. This is just one pocket between Jeff Hwy and Earheart that is a total dump. It’s right by the Leman playground gym.

Ah, i knew his name sounded familiar.. we had season tix for them the one year they were in town. Was really an exciting team for the first half of the season, it was completely foreign as a Saints fan then to have an actual winning team.. Then in true NOLA fashion, they completely fell apart down the stretch.

Marcus Dupree was a great back though, and i remember sitting in the Dome for one game behind Dave Wilson and Hokie Gaian.

Sorry you can't afford to live in Old Metairie.

I'd look in Old Westwego.

Perhaps Old Avondale.

He does. I see him at the kids school functions and sometimes at the coffee shop and I'm always still impressed with the security detail and black suburbans he has.

Is this one bigger than the one the Guidry guy built nearby? I remember the fiasco that was caused when the parish denied his request to cut down a tree that would block a crane or something from doing some of the work.

Somehow the tree got cut down one night or something goofy like that and he claimed he had nothing to do with it.

Northline used to be an attractive street, but now it's overrun by monstrosity vanity projects from trash that stumbled into money like the Guidrys, etc. At least canizzaro's isn't an eye sore. the rest belong in south florida.

It's still an attractive street, but some of them are awful, especially the two modern houses right by the country club.
