Nola Pita Pit aka just another fast food chain!

Perfect. The Pita Pit is attempting to open a chain fast food restaraunt over in the old Starbucks spot on Magazine and Nashville. A Canadian fast food chain disguised as a trendishly "healthy fast food joint" trying to infiltrate the Uptown New Orleans area. This isn't a Border's renovation. This is a fast food restaurant just like McDonald's only wrapped in the allure of a pita pocket. I already feel the rebirth of 2008 oozing through the streets. The holidays were a much needed source of cash flow for local businesses and their employees. It has continued to inspire with the college football championships holding the BCS game in our city. New Orleans is the biggest winner of them all! Mardi Gras began on Sunday the 6th and from now until end of summer our time to really shine has begun. We have to do everything possible to protect our New Orleans and it's charm of locally owned and operated businesses from chains which would offer their instant gratification fixes to our communities. We are the Big Easy, let's keep it that way. We are finally making progress with how the image of our city is portrayed. Were these "corporate type" entities struggling to establish their chain food restaurants in '05 or '06 or even '07? No! It was the local businesses who were the first to re-open and provide much needed services for the citizens of Nola. Now that the rest of the country is beginning to realize why it IS important to save our city and preserve our culture, there is even more reason to keep your money in Orleans parish.
