I don’t want to be a pioneer
As the reality of selling the LaLa became more pronounced, I began a wide search around the city to buy a house or a lot to build a house on leaving myself open for all neighborhoods. A friend called who had just bought an investment property near the St. Roch area in back of the Fish Market and St. Claude. It was in the 2000 block of Urquhart.
I got in the car and drove over there to look at this area. He said it was in transition and held promise for good fixer uppers. When I got there, I fell into a despair driving up and down the streets. To be a pioneer in a transitional neighborhood is one thing as a single woman, to be there with a child is another. I couldn’t imagine walking outside and having Tin riding his bicycle up and down the block and that wasn’t just because Tin has been riding his bike up and down the bayou, it was because all I could think of on those blocks was “what you behold is what you become.”
Today the police released this information:
