New links added
Posted on May 22, 2007 by Jim S
Check out the links page (listed under Pages in the righthand column) for new links recently added to our site. Check out the Orleans Parish Assessor’s info on any house in the parish. Check out the status of property. See who owns blighted property (you’d be surprised). Learn what’s in line to be demolished around town. And much more.
Watch for more links to be added in the future. If you know of something we should be listing let us know by making a comment. Thanks.

Priestly needs a few good students

Priestly sign
Originally uploaded by nola-shiva.
Know any high school kids interested in architecture, preservation, real estate development and the like? Priestly is a unique school with an emphasis in those things, embedded within a complete academic high school curriculum.
New Orleans needs this school to succeed. Our neighborhood needs this school to succeed. Plans are to house it at the massive hulk located at Birch and Leonidas, which sorely needs a new use.

Recycling rebirth
Posted on May 15, 2007 by Jim S
Our neighbor Julianna has passed this on from Phoenix Recycling and I hereby post it for all to see and act on:
GOT RECYCLING?
We will offer curbside recycling service for a fee, once we have enough interested customers.
Hopefully early fall 2007
Plastic – Glass – Metal – Newspaper
The fee is $15 per month, but could be lower based on neighborhood participation and density.
Contact your neighborhood organization for group discounts.
We will provide the bin(s) and collect twice per month.
Sign up now to help us launch this long overdue service.
Please send name, address and contact info to:
phoenix.recycling@gmail.com
Or call Steven O’Connor @ 504-427-0891
What do you think? Maybe we as an Association could rally enough participants to get a group discount.
