Full disclosure: Allen Toussant cut me off in traffic and shot me the bird. Had Dr dre music blaring out of the car. At least I think it was him.


Saw him at Jazz Fest one year. He was driving down the track in a light brown Rolls with a personalized plate that said "PIANO". You still think it was him that cut you off?

Other airports named after Presidents. NOLA airport named after a jazz guy.

Did you really expect anything else?

Lol right, because presidents are supremely better and more worthy than anyone else for honoring.

Allen Toussaint certainly has more connection to New Orleans than Lee who spent a few nights at Jackson Barracks before shipping out to Veracruz in the Mexican American war. I still hate the fact though that Beauregard's statue was taken down....it was a really good work of art....us Beauregard is a local kid from da Parish, bruh

Like “circle street”. Where’s the harm in that name? Or “beignet boulevard”? Everyone loves beignets

Beignets are binary and circles are racist.

Allen Toussant is a great person to name a street after


I agree.

However, Lee Circle will be still be Lee circle for at least the next couple of generations in terms of name recognition. The city (as usual) fricked this up imho.

Lis or Lys Circle made much more sense. A giant Fleur-de-lis perched on the column would have been linked to the Saints (paid for by them?), a unifier for the city, and linguistically the same.

Same have been pushing Leah Circle for Leah Chase.

Ugh, so terrible. Disrespects her and what was Lee Circle. If we have to change it go back to Tivoli. Don't give some half assed wink.
