A Dream for the City

The Hypothetical Development Organization has been wandering New Orleans neighborhoods putting up renderings of fantastical buildings which, like the Trump condos on Poydras, will never get built. It's an interesting project that gets you thinking about the future, or lack of it, for sites around town. Check out their video. Or visit their website for more info.

Trump Dumped in New Orleans

The Donald's overly-hyped 70-story $400 million hotel and luxury condo tower in New Orleans' Central Business District is dead. The property was foreclosed and sold to the parking lot operators that occupy the site now. Pity. Had Trump become president there was always the chance that his glizty building could have been the winter White House. As it is we all get to appreciate the new handsome Zatarain's mural on the side of the Queen & Crescent Hotel facing Poydras Street.
