Riff Raff

No, not that Riff Raff!

This Riff Raff:

Walking on Canal Street, one can’t help but notice that old empty building next to Southern Belle. There are these signs in the window, and they’ve been there awhile….
There is a website, that talks about a live music venue specializing in blues and jazz.

So, Riff Raff Tavern on the Canal. Sounds great: Canal Street developing into a little nightlife district

Yet, looking in the windows, not much has been done. Spring 2008 opening?

Anyone familiar with this project? Is it real or dead?

Its funny how from the 1900 till 2008 the building stood there and the city wanted to have everything changed. Thanks to jim montgromery steve the builder, and the coumminty around riff raff the pressure on the city its happen 4 years of struggle and now THIS IS IT
