Episode 29 - Stop the GrainTrain w/ Kate Thorstad & Elliot Robinson! Live Music from Anna Moss!!!

Elliot and Kate join Howie and Scully in the King Room to discuss the fight to stop the activation of the long dormant Alabo Wharf and its connecting rail lines in the lower Ninth Ward.  They explain how Sunrise Foods International (Qatar, Turkey, Canada) and Port of Orleans are fast tracking a plan that has been in the works for over a year but was only made public in September.  If the plan goes forward, they say, the historic neighborhood of Holy Cross will potentially suffer from harmful grain dust,  an active rail line running just feet from front doors, and blocked traffic throughout the neighborhood -- most notably at two points on St. Claude; there are no benefits for the community.
