This is good news for New Orleans East: On Saturday, USA Neighborhood Market opened on Morrison Road, the first new food store to open in the area since Katrina. According to Representative Cedric Richmond, quoted by WWL: "If you look at the terminology for it, you would consider New Orleans East a 'Food Desert,' in terms of access to buy quality food." So this is a step in the right direction. [WWL]
