Bring your phone or camera to snap pics along Upperline St. An old market, corner stores and the hidden river just beyond Tchoupitoulas St. are a few things that make this quintessential New Orleans.
The Urban Conservancy and StayLocal are working with local architect and Jane Jacobs scholar Marilyn Feldmeier (who is also a resident of the neighborhood). Our focus is on "What Makes West Mag a Success?" West Mag is the stretch between Jefferson and Henry Clay. This area is distressed as a result of the Southeast Louisiana (SELA) drainage construction project.
Take an after-work stroll through a typical neighborhood in Mid-City, between Carrollton Ave. and Jefferson Davis Pkwy. Learn how the area has changed over time, from a cypress swamp to working class homes to an historic neighborhood at the heart of our city.
