Lower 9th Ward neighborhood would gain grocery under redevelopment plan | NOLA.com: "The commerce-starved Lower 9th Ward is being targeted for a full-service grocery as part of a proposed redevelopment of the venerable Holy Cross School campus.

The store would be owned and operated by a company whose principals include New Orleans-born actor Wendell Pierce and his childhood friend, management consultant Troy Henry, who have partnered to build more than 100 energy-efficient homes in Gentilly's storm-ravaged Pontchartrain Park."

I am really happy about this. The L9 is definitely a neighborhood that needs a real grocery store.
