Press Conference Under the Oaks

This morning's press conference went well - a number of tv cameras and reporters showed up on Banks Street under the live oaks as demolition continued.  The shots shown here depict things before the actual press conference got underway.

People from Louisiana Landmarks and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, as well as footprint residents and business owners and concerned citizens at large, showed up for the event.  Interestingly, even random passersby stopped by to see what was going on.
