BLACK MOB TAKES OVER NEIGHBORHOOD, AGAIN
World Net Daily ^ | 02/11/13 | Colin Flaherty

Posted on 02/11/2013 7:45:31 PM PST by Anila

EDITOR’S NOTE: The links in the following report may contain offensive language.

Tourists are flocking to New Orleans for Mardi Gras: Just in time for party-goers to witness a black mob that has taken over an entire neighborhood. And few seem to care.

Just ask the beleaguered residents of Amelia Street: an “out-of-control gathering place for unruly teenagers during Mardi Gras (which) will receive increased attention this week from both police and city officials who promise to end the problem,” said the Uptown Messenger.

Which is what police said last year. And the year before. And the year before that. Now it happens year round.

And it is getting worse: The break-ins, assaults, robberies, arson, threats, vandalism, you name it, all happening on a two block stretch on a parade route between Barronne Street and St. Charles Avenue.

“I was there last year and it was absolutely crazy,” said one reader at the Uptown Messenger website. “Fights broke out, and I saw a moped catch fire.” Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/02/black-mob-takes-over-neighborhood-again/#OQKlP0FUWXGMHAYh.99

Thanks for the mention of Dunbar's -- I'll mention it to my sister. Sister and b-i-l live out in the western part of Metairie, north of Vets Mem and east of Transcontinental, off Esplanade, and they like the places out in Metairie since they don't care to go into the CBD and Quarter if they can avoid it. (He's on faculty at Tulane Medical School, so he gets to eat downtown all he likes, tho' I'm sure they stay on Tulane Avenue and Claiborne rather than legging it over to the Quarter to get to Felix.)

I've been to that Morning Call in Metairie, my sister likes it. Been there a couple of times, in fact. Cafe du Monde has a location out there, now, too.

Thank God I don’t often have to go into a concentrated Democrat parasite nest (”city”).
Only my tax dollars do.

I was at Mardi Gras in ‘70, the commemoration of Easy Rider. My date wore a tie (we had an event before the BIG event), which was picked right off of his neck. To this day, I have no idea why.

I hope the bar was Pat O’Brian’s.

“I’ll never forget the scene as thousands paraded, shoulder to shoulder, through the street.”

During Mardi Gras, when leaving an establishment, one needs to go with the flow.

Bumping an excellent post!

The only thing I would add is that, if you want to stay close to the quarter without staying in the quarter, stay at the Hyatt by the convention center, and walk through the Riverfront Mall, and/or take the little train, to get to the quarter.

Too, I didn’t see one mention of Antoine’s. ;o)

My dad worked at the ITM Building .....

He did? Did he work for Mobil? They used to have offices there. It was empty for years; when did they take it down? It was damaged in a hurricane, I remember .... I was watching a New Orleans movie just a few days ago (Bullet to the Head, Sly Stallone assassin-caper vehicle similar to Broken City, The Professional, The Mechanic, Assassination Tango.) and noticed the ITM was gone.

I wonder if that was some Hollywood trickery. When I was there at Christmas, the WTC Building (former ITM) was still standing. The city was soliciting bids for either renovation or removal of the building - but it wouldn't surprise me to see the site rolled-in with that absurd riverfront park project (Reinventing the Crescent).

Dad worked for Delta Steamship Lines, whose office space in that building lingered, empty, for many years after the company consolidated into its Houston office.

We might be talking about two different buildings. I’m talking about the one with the big “mushroom” top — square, but with a sort-of mushroom profile, with a couple of outsized floors at the top, as if someone wanted extra penthouses up there.

....stay at the Hyatt by the convention center....

My cousins pretty much had that deal when they went there for a convention in 2009 or 2010. The convention hotel was the Sheraton on Canal Street, so that was close, too, but higher up. I visited with them then, drove over and met them, and wound up doing a LOT of walking and trying to beat the parking meters. We wound up with them sneaking me into hotel parking with their room key, which was a lot more workable. You really need a hotel down there if you visit the city, any other arrangement is a beeotch. You can't really use your own car in N.O. ... they've seen to that with time limits and tow trucks. You have just about enough time to park, run an errand, and then rush back to your car before they tow you. Forget lunch at Brennan's.s That was Marc Morial fleecing the white people, I'm sure.

Yep, probably a different building. There was one that used to be fairly close to the Pontchartrain Expressway that was recently demolished. The Pallas Hotel, or Grand Palace... whatever it was most recently called. A 1950s relic that wasn't very aesthetically pleasing.

There was an odd office tower over near the post office and rail station that had oversized top floors. Loyola Avenue, I think... don't know if that one is gone (it probably should be).

The ITM building (the first of the World Trade Center buildings) is an x-shaped tower with a smaller, round structure on top. The round part used to slowly rotate, and had a very "Mad Men" bar/nightclub that was called "The Top of the Mart". The most recent club in that space was "Club 360" - its website is still active but I believe the club is closed. IIRC, there was a separate elevator to the "top".

The city had proposed that the building be used to house "disadvantaged businesses", which killed any outside investor interest. Attaboy, Mitch.

Okay, my folks referred to that, being part of the Rivergate complex, as just "The Rivergate". The one with the oversized penthouse floors is the one I was talking about. It's definitely gone now.

I think that's the development in San Antonio of the river frontage.

The Moonwalk is where I used to go sit on the levee after I'd had coffee and beignets at Cafe du Monde on Jackson Square on Sunday afternoon and continue reading my novels.

New Orleans does have a "Riverwalk Marketplace" (Yes, San Antonio used the name first). It started as part of the '84 World's Fair, housing a number of international restaurants and cultural pavilions. After the fair closed, the structure (which sits above the riverfront levee and extends out over an unused wharf) was renovated and turned into a shopping mall with some big name retailers.

After December 1996, it began turning into more of a collection of tourist giftshops (but retained the huge food court). The original tenants began giving up space because of *this*:

M/V Bright Field rams Riverwalk.

P.J. O’Rourke described New Orleans as a high-crime drainage ditch.

He was being kind...

Believe it or not, it was a great place for fun, food, shopping and history at one time. Then, in the early 60's, liberalism's clutches took hold and irreparably ruined the New Orleans of the 40s and 50s that I so fondly recall. The black thugs referenced in the lead article of this thread now control the once charming New Orleans and it's why it's been off my destination list for some 50 years now.

All cultures are NOT equal... As my mother used to say - the proof is in the pudding... New Orleans is becoming a hellhole... dems run the place, right? Same as they run Detroit... and Chicago. Places that will become less and less livable as time goes on.

Liberals hate America. They're taught to from a very young age. They want to bring it down any way they can. Promoting immoral behavior is one of their best tools. And they have used it successfully among the black population.It's time to stop thinking of ourselves as “hyphenated Americans” and start seeing ourselves as just Americans.

You're right on this - insightful comments. Before liberals took over the culture - black and white marriage rates were about the same... Children were raised within two parent families among all races - then liberals stepped in with their twisted ways... and lies.

“If we ask them to refrain from doing any of this behavior, you automatically become a target,”

It depends on how you ask. Taking every single troublemaker, shooting them all, and putting their severed heads on spikes all along the street would likely put the message across.

I joke, but at times I think this may just be the only thing that would work.

I hear that the San Antonio Riverwalk is, or has been, redone and expanded. Is that right? It was lovely when I was there.

I remember, too, when the ship hit the NOLA Riverwalk. I had been there not long before it happened. You’re right...it was full of tourist shops but, judging from the crowd there in that early October, they must have done well.

“New Orleans is becoming a hellhole”

NOLA has been a hellhole at least since I first started visiting there a very, very long time ago as a child. But, that isn’t true of the entire city.

I’ll always remember the 1970 Sugar Bowl in Tulane Stadium fondly. Ole Miss beat Arkansas in a very good game. ;o)

Frankly, NOLA is what you make of it. However, I wouldn’t want to live there, again.

Now that you remind me, I remember the videotape of that ship striking the Riverwalk Mall .... pretty crunchful. I think it was before Hurricane “Katrina”, which was in 2005.
