Eastern New Orleans - Today

Today

Eastern New Orleans is becoming more of how it used to be Pre-Katrina. Many retail shops have opened on Bullard Avenue and around the East. Alot of these stores are family owned businesses and black owned franchises such as the USA Neighborhood Market. A Walmart, Big Lots, and a CVS Pharmacy are coming to New Orleans East. Also a new library and Joe Brown Memorial Park has been newly renovated. Methodist Hospital is planned to be reopened by the end of 2013 and an outlet mall is planned for the former Jazzland site.

Famous quotes containing the word today:

    “The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “We had to take the world as it was given:
    The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
    Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
    The mornings happened similar and stark
    In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
    Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    ““I’m very brave generally,” he went on in a low voice: “only today I happen to have a headache.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
