You do realize Magazine’s bread and butter is no where near where the St Thomas Projects were, right?
And even then, they were off Tchoup towards the arse end of Magzine.

Bro it gets as close as 2 blocks in that clip. It’s basically 4-5 blocks from magazine. That’s a 5 minute walk maybe.
Crime doesn’t venture out?

Interesting. Does anybody have a general timeline on how that happened and before and after pictures?
I’ve only ever known magazine street as high end boutique shopping with lots of good restaurants and beautiful houses basically up and down the whole street.

I mean crime can happen anywhere.
The point was that’s not the area of magazine people refer to when they talk about shopping, eating and drinking. Sure it’s livelier today down there post Katrina, but it’s not heart of Magazine by a long shot.

Yea those dirt huts and sewage run offs where locals clean their clothes. We’re just happy for the rice drops to feed our children.

There were these highly progressive and forward thinking housing projects in cities all over the country. New Orleans just seemed to have a shite load of them relative to its size.

I guess that’d be really from Napoleon to Jackson rather than Jackson and further down the street.
Basically what I meant though was the St Thomas projects were within and in close proximity to by far the nicest neighborhood out of all of them. Fischer in Algiers, desire and Florida along the canal. Magnolia, Melpomene and Calliope in central city.
But St Thomas was right up against the garden district. So I was sort of meaning what was it like back then? Did it bleed over into the garden district much? I guess it still does today so I imagine it used to be much worse.

Lafitte had more of a negative impact on the French Quarter than St Thomas had on Magazine St...and still does today

I bet the sewers in Port Au Prince aren't substantially worse than the system in New Orleans.

Of course I do. The LGD benefitted first and it spread uptown.

Lafitte is still open? I thought that was long torn down.
Wasn't it built on top of an old canal?

Those look like prisons.
Why didn’t New Orleans tear every single one of those dumps down after Katrina.

As an outsider, suburban white kid from a different state only learning about these projects through late 90s/early 00s rap culture the most infamous ones are: Magnolia, Melpomene, and Calliope.
