Dixie Brewer Owners Lose Latest Battle In Court:
The family that ran the Dixie Brewery from the mid-1980s until Hurricane Katrina has lost another court battle as it tries to save the original building from the wrecking ball.
Civil District Judge Paulette Irons on Tuesday dismissed the Bruno family's latest request for an injunction, possibly paving the way for contractors with the federal Department of Veterans Affairs and LSU to begin to remove asbestos and demolish at least part of the 107-year-old building. The brewery, dormant since that 2005 storm flooded it with 10 feet of water, sits within the footprint of the new joint medical complex being constructed in the Tulane-Graver neighborhood.

The Philosopher's Library May Be Bywater's Next Thing
In case the abundance of eating and boozing establishments in Bywater is getting to be too much, check out this (maybe) coming attraction of a completely different ilk. Artist Candy Chang (of the house-art Before I Die...fame) and writer James A. Reeves own a building on N. Rampart Street and want to put a library and coffee shop on the ground floor of the space. But this is no ordinary library — The Philosopher's Library will be "a sanctuary for confused, anxious, and worn-out people," with classic philosophical tomes and "life-changing books recommended by others." Chang and Reeves also want the "dignified public space" to be used for readings, discussions, and exhibitions. In order for this to happen, though, a zoning switch-up from a two-family residence to a neighborhood business has to be approved. and the owners are holding their required meeting tomorrow at 6 p.m.

Molly's, 13 Team May Bring New Tavern to St. Claude
the owners of Molly's at the Market and 13, Jim and Alana Monaghan and business partner Lloyd Miller, are in the planning stages of opening Junction, a train-themed neighborhood tavern and grill in the former A & N Grocery building at 3021 St. Claude Avenue. The team has already met with the Bywater Neighborhood Association, whose zoning committee has voted in support of the project, so things appear to be going well for them. Next up, the team must conquer the City Planning Commission.
