old money. But, says Larino, local retail geared
toward younger folks is also popping up.
Obstacles and Opportunities
Hurricane Katrina was 12 years ago, but it
still tends to dominate the conversation.
"Scars remain that can be traced to the
storm," says Larino. "There are many residents who never returned. Rising rents in the
city are driving many of the remaining lowincome families farther from the urban core."
Downtown retail, she says, is a mixed bag:
"New Orleans is still very much a drive-in,
nine-to-five worker type of area in the city.
And rents are high, so trendy central business
district restaurants and shops geared toward
locals tend to come and go."-Steve Kaufman

memorable experiences, with an emphasis

digital signage and displays, lighting, video,
furniture and content creation platforms.
