It's almost as if Magazine Street is filling up with brands that would appear in an actual magazine.


It’s almost as if you don’t understand why it’s called Magazine street.

Led to the magazine/ammunition storage for the city is one story.

The other is the more likely that it is the Spanish term for storehouse.

Either way it means basically the same.

I had never given myself the time to focus on national chain stores until after Katrina. I always thought the more purchasing options, the better.

But everyone of the national brands., seemingly outside of Walmart & Home Depot/Lowes, left the community high & dry for at least 6 months or more. It was the mom & pop small businesses that came back served "their" community almost immediately. The national restaurants,fast food joints, furniture stores,etc. couldn't care less about the city until recovery was firmly established.
