Swickle's team has been using the site for movie shoots here and there, but he says film companies have their eyes on it as a long-term anchor for Hollywood South.
"Big producers have come to town and said, ‘Why are you just using it for a location scene? Let's make it kind of like the crown jewel of movies. Let's do production. Let's do site. Let's do sound stages. Let's do everything right there in that neighborhood,’” Swickle said.
“And some major players have stepped forward now and said they're ready to move forward and we're going to explore those opportunities together starting immediately."

Funky Butt To Reopen on Freret StreetPosted on October 16, 2012 by gnorealestatenews

OffBeat reports that The Funky Butt, originally located on North Rampart Street, is set to reopen as the Funky Butt Jazz Club at 4716 Freret Street. Club operator Shanekah Peterson, said that the club can accommodate 200 to 250 and and will not have food. Peterson and her former husband, Sam “Big Sam” Williams, operated the Funky Butt at Congo Square at its 714 North Rampart Street location before Hurricane Katrina. Post-Katrina various operators attempted to reopen the venue, but could not obtain the proper live music permits.
Peterson says the permits are in place, thanks to the new location on Freret Street, which is designated as a cultural district, a fact which makes it easier to obtain permits for live entertainment.
The Lucky Rooster, 518 Baronne
Projected Opening: Fall, Winter 2012?
The Lucky Rooster, the much anticipated pan-Asian street food joint from Warren Chapoton, Joe Briand, and Chef Neal Swidler, is building the coop, so to speak. These contruction pics were posted on their bloggy blog recently, along with some of Swidler's killer banh mi teaser porn .
Looks like the food is going to rock, but the place still needs a lot of work, with two dumpsters out front and a gutted bathroom that looks like the home of that scary Ringu girl. The place will no doubt be totally rad when finished, but burn some sage, y'all. The location is no longer a mystery, kids: the restaurant appears to be in the former home of Gregory & Pete's near the Civic lofts.
