My aunt and uncle owned a house on Carrollton Ave that was located approximately where the median of I-10 is today.

Everyone knows Treme would be the Silicon Valley of the south if not for that bridge.

Didn’t they recently bitch in Nola about a roadway that was built to go around a predominantly black neighborhood and that they wanted the roadway to go through their neighborhood?

The Claiborne Ave overpass crap? Which was mostly built on the neutral ground that was already there - yes a few houses & businesses had to be knocked down - but it was either that or the French quarter

I don’t really care where it’s at. My point is that the Democrats will always bitch and will take money from things that are actually needed. Like parasites.

I-10 and 110 were built against recommendations of Army Corps of Engineers. Two big reasons were that it would become a shitty traffic -ridden city road, and that it would cut Old South Baton Rouge and other black neighborhoods in half. Baton Rouge officials ignored their advice.

My dad’s house on Melody Drive was part of that. He mentions it whenever we pass over it in a car.

Hey buttfricker you wanna know how to “reconnect” them? How about building roads and bridges with the supposed bi-partisan trillion dollar package.

Back before interstates, it was the railroads that were racist. Ever hear the expression “wrong side of the tracks”? Can’t wait for the future when skyways for flying cars will be racist too.
