the new Chic-Fil-A at airline and severn is training right now, should be open very soon



Zavier is not messing around, building going up quick




opp still has pile drivers and other machinery under the cranes but no visual progress yet

if you lose your bike, a good start would be on side the Poydras off ramp to Claiborne, 2 guys had about 60 bikes when I passed and they were in the process of stripping them



looks like they are starting sidewalk repairs in prep for the superbowl, few spots started on Poydras neat the dome, Lasalle st was completely ripped up

TVs installed, one step closer to opening another spot at Caesars, the canal st outdoor smoking section

It's a great-looking building in a great location, and I'm surprised that as of several years ago, it was still vacant.

I'm too young to have ever gone there or at least to have remembered going there but looks like the address was 125 St Charles. So the building's address is 121-25. The latest thing I found is some violations from 2023. https://onestopapp.nola.gov/SummaryC...dent&id=292523. Can't find any building permits or anything but I'm not that familiar with that site

I can actually hear them driving the pilings at OPP from my place. It's been going on for months now but very sporadically

Thanks!

A long time ago when I was young, it was a very good German restaurant. While the outside of the building has a typical NO look, the inside was like a Munich beer hall/restaurant.

At that location, it seems like someone would want to fix it and use it for some business. Maybe the building's owner is not selling.

One of my fondest memories is being at a beer garden on the banks of the Danube in New Ulm in 1998 or so. Bratz y'all is the best thing that we have that I know of. But to not veer too off subject the building was sold in 2003 for 4 and 1/2 million and that's the last transaction that's showing on the assessor's website.
