Nothing, I am listening to Steely Dan Hey Nineteen in my head now. Among the other voices.

It's been about 14 years since I've been to Cafe Du Monde.

New Orleans density is even more alarming when you look at the preponderance of detached dwellings. Check out how many they pack on the average block. Looks like on some of those blocks you get a backyard depending on where your house is on the block.

New Orleans is definitely the densest big city of the south,especially in design. The only city that outdoes it in people per sq miles is Miami and keep in mind Miami is at a population peak while New Orleans has been in a population loss since the 1960's Also Miami is pretty much all built up, New Orleans has a bunch of land that no one lives on. The city is about 180 sq miles, the part people live in is about 73 sq miles. Which gives a density of about 6,630 in 2000. Before New Orleans East the liveable part of the city was about 53 sq miles, with a density of about 11,840 in 1960. It peaked around 1965, I'm not sure if N.O.E. was built by then, I'm guessing no. The density would've been between 13,208 and 15,904.
I told my brother-in-law yesterday (a New Orleans fireman) that I think New Orleans is going to see a pretty big surge in high rise (at least 17 stories) residentials, nice residentials too I might add, being built on the land along the Mississippi that didn't flood. I think there's a plan to try to move almost all the people onto about 15 sq miles of land. He agreed and he thinks it's the best thing to do. I told him the urban core of the city is probably going to look and feel like Manhattan.
I also see this new high rise condo thing happening because developers are starting to notice that New Orleans is a vacation area. I think it was said there are 3 cities that have a highrise condo market-NYC,Las Vegas and Miami. I think they're going to add New Orleans to that considering all the out of town vacationers that would buy a condo to use when they come around.

I can't say I know much about this but there are usually two cities I hear a lot about in the south with high density, New Orleans and Charleston SC. Any idea how density compares?
Density ranges from 32-12,261 people per sq mile. The darker the color the higher the density. The green areas have at least 2,750 per sq mile
Density ranges from 34-40,317 people per sq mile. The green areas have at least 8,086 people per sq mile. Keep in mind this is with 484,000 people, estimates in 1965 have the population at 700-800,000

My first name is Lloyd, after my dad and his dad, but for my entire life I've gone by Mike never Lloyd, which is one of my middle names. My mom has always called me Mike too. I'm seriously thinking of having it changed to Mike legally. When ever anyone calls me Lloyd, usually someone that doesn't know me like a receptionist reading an official document and calling me, I always get really uncomfortable. I never go by it and when I'm addressed by it it's like I have to respond to a name that isn't mine.
I live in Slidell. I was born in Metairie and used to live there and in Kenner. On East Loyola Dr in Kenner and on Vegas Dr in Metairie near Green Park elementary school and Delta park.

Where on earth are they getting these numbers from? Are these for real or is someone just having a good delusional time posting false numbers?

Here's the one for Lakeshore Towers.

Here's the Vantage Tower website Vantage Towers I just found it so I'm going back after this to check it out.

What's everyone been doing these past few days? I've just finished watching "Gone With the Wind" for the first time. I must say that it is one of the few movies that actually lives up to and exceeds the hype it gets (and if you don't believe me, there are people all over the world who'll tell you the same. Just search the net). It's well worth the 4 hours it takes to watch it (part of it even is set in New Orleans for all you New Orleans forumers out there!)
NCB, you should give this thread some sort of New Orleans name, like "The French Quarter" or something ith "Off-Topic Postings" as the subtitle.
Gone With The Wind is one of the few movies in the pre WWII era that I can tolerate. Not just tolerate,but actually enjoy. It's not hard to see why it's the biggest movie ever,based on inflation, considering what people had to watch back then. My mom got the 2 vhs package back around 1987,and a few years ago I bought her the DVD, single disc, still have to flip it which is a bummer. It should've contained the entire movie on one side.
What are you listening to RIGHT NOW?
