Idea for New Orleans old airport terminal?

Eventually the new airport terminal will be ready at Louis Armstong New Orleans International Airport, but what should the city do with the old terminal area?

Here is an idea from Germany:

Turn it into a Food court only with wifi stations and phone charging stations for weary travelers. Merge it with the new one. Remodel it.....

M.M.

It’s going to be torn down from what I heard from a buddy who works there building the new one.

they could always use it for Hlloween store..lol

I think a drive through facility for providers would be cool. Better safety for providers and honoring the New Orleans tradition of a city of prostitution.
And we already have the drive- through Daiquiri stores to get the party started.



Of course the chance it could happen is about the same as being hit by an asteroid and winning the lottery on the same day.

I don't think it's likely to happen here, but that article brought back some memories for me. I lived for a while in Kreuzberg, Berlin very close to the airport in the early 80's. Night life was great, as a lot of Europeans lived in West Berlin, it was a crazy time before the wall came down.

I agree. A big part of the plan in Berlin is to push the prostitutes out of the city and out of sight.

I would definitely post up in Kenner more often if there were somewhere to stay there that looked like this:

That is actually a viable idea Lena ! Great looking hotel!
I am fully aware that the German proposal would never fly here in Louisiana.

lmao that emoji sums it up perfectly... terrible :P


if they simply just made indoor prostitution legal, it
would alleviate the probs from street prostitution while
greatly improving safety & work conditions

when Rhode Island had a loophole in its legislation that
made indoor prostitution legal, reported rape offences fell
by 30% and female gonorrhoea incidence declines by over 40%

...legalization still allows LE to treat prostitutes as
criminal, and even allows them to bust in a worker's
home based on suspicion of commercial sex taking place

due to the zoning in Munich, where 3% of the city
allows prostitution, LE regularly stages sting operations
to lure workers into prohibited zones

prostitutes are criminalized if they work from home, and
they can be fined for visiting clientele, so they're
only allowed to work in regulated areas that exclude them


legalization is specific laws and policies that
regulate sex work via zoning, licensing, restrictions,
etc. and criminalize sex workers outside of the regulations
