NEW ORLEANS — In the 70s and 80s New Orleans East was the place to be. Middle class homes and neighborhoods, crowded public and private schools, Joe Brown Park and the center of it all was the Plaza Shopping Center.
People gathered there to ice skate or watch others try their hand at it. The mall boasted one of the first Chick-fil-A restaurants outside of Georgia. People had birthdays at Farrell’s ice cream parlor or watched movies at the theater.
On weekends the place was packed and one of the main sports was people-watching.
A few Mardi Gras krewes paraded on New Orleans East streets.

It was a shithole before Katrina
Section 8 housing and the Rise in crime along with it forced the middle class folks out. I venture to guess most of those families left there and moved to Slidell and other parts of the North shore

Being from Chalmette I was at the Plaza quite often. My mom had a credit card to one of the main places and even when it was going downhill we would still go. Place was packed in the 80s and was pretty much shite in the 90s.

New Orleans, whether east, west or whatever....The chocolate city.

The east wasn’t utopia before Katrina, but it’s wasnt that bad.
I laugh when housing advocates say there is no affordable housing in NO. The east is cheap as hell and a lot closer commute than most other places.

Yea but you can’t in good conscience buy a hole there with a family. 90% of the neighborhoods and commercial developments are crime infested

Everyone at all incomes can’t live Uptown.
