The article mentioned the Lake Forest Mall in NOEast. I did not know the mall is even still there. Is it sitting empty all this time? If so, I wonder what shape it's in. Edit: Nevermind. I just found that it was demolished in 2007.

well, looks like I was wrong about them not having anything else going on out there.

Developers behind the massive overhaul of the former Six Flags in New Orleans East say they will soon finalize $300 million in financing and have found operators for a youth sports complex and water park resort – critical milestones in the site’s long-awaited revival.

Eastern Sports Management of Virginia and American Resort Management of Texas and Pennsylvania will run the complex and resort under preliminary agreements with the Bayou Phoenix group. Officials with those two firms joined Bayou Phoenix principal Troy Henry to announce the plans at a Friday meeting at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church

I am extremely excited about this project for New Orleans East and the entire metro. E Ross Studios is going to be beautiful based on the renderings, and I've seen the shift in the film industry to studio developments like this so it should definitely boost the cities Film industry. Elvin Ross also has major connections with Disney and Tyler Perry. American Resort Management is also super exciting with their partnership with Mattel.
