Dubbed "The Miracle Mile," changes included       widening it at the expense of its neutral ground, eliminating the streetcar       line and forbidding left        turns."              and another about the same street:              What was once known as the "Miracle Mile" has needed a miracle to bring it       back to its former glory.The Tulane Avenue corridor is poised for a       renaissance and thanks to several recent sales, area businesses have hope that       their time is now.       Back in it's heyday, Tulane Avenue was the major artery into New Orleans from       Jefferson Parish, but when Interstate 10 was built in the early 70s, that all       changed.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
