Corner Store Demolished

Yesterday.

Today:



















It's unfortunate that several of the oldest buildings in the VA Footprint do not have sills - they're directly on slabs, likely moved from even older parts of the city at some point in the past.  Buildings on slabs aren't in the cards for the moving operation.

It's another reminder of the abysmal site selection brought to us by the Nagin-Blakely team.  Quintessential parts of the New Orleans historic street fabric are being sent to the landfill unnecessarily.
