Deutsches Haus is home to the best Oktoberfest in New Orleans. The Haus has been a New Orleans fixture since 1928. The city of New Orleans has created an asinine plan to build a new LSU/VA hospital complex right on top of the Haus.
Now I have a few issues with this:
1) I am not a conspiracy theorist, but is it a coincidence that someone was buying up the property all around the Haus right before the announcement of this plan?
2) The city wants to spend $50 million out of $200 million in federal funds dedicated to repair streets and public buildings damaged in Katrina to buy the area around and including the Haus. The city would then give the land to the VA in exchange for the old VA property for the city to lease out or sell. Something does not smell right in that deal............ read about it here.
You can sign a petition to Save the Haus online.
