3300 Magazine is the Probst interior design store. They seem incredibly expensive so i always wondered how they stayed open, but i figured uptown had plenty of people willing to shell out absurd amounts of money. Either way, a restaurant will be a more exciting use for the location, but I hope the store stays open somewhere.
Also, soon to be announced (maybe today) the City is going to repave the following streets in the quarter as well as replace damaged sections of sidewalks prior to the superbowl (separate and apart from this Convention Center deal):
burgundy, canal to esplanade
dauphine, canal to esplanade
royal, canal to esplanade
esplanade, decatur to n rampart both directions
st louis, decatur to n rampart
toulouse, decatur to n rampart
n. peters, canal to st louis
decatur, st louis to dumaine
I"m excited, but god knows the residents are going to bitch....
I'm also thrilled about the proposed loudspeaker ordinance on Bourbon (there's a meeting with KGP today about it). I dont' mind Bourbon being loud if it's filled with live music, jazz, rock, what have you,but it's such a TRASHY trashy thing to have every restaurant and t-shirt stop, closet beer stand blaring loudspeakers with garbage music. I've hated it my whole life
We win! (almost)
