Two scenes take place in Village Square. Patrick took this picture 2 months ago or so. I don’t know how much longer these buildings will remain. There have been some rumblings about turning them into mixed income housing, but the Chalmatians are up in arms about that. They are afraid that mixed income housing will attract undesirables. Um. Who do they think they are? In any case, we might have to shoot the exteriors before we even begin principal photography.

We moved into Village Square Apts when they first opened in the early 70's. I still remember being excited about the new townhouses and the cool views of the newly built pools. It breaks my heart to see what has happened to them. They use to be the “Premiere” place to live in Chalmette.

Thanks Teresa. It is sad what has happened to them. Patrick and I used Village Square as one of the locations for our music video “Little Baby Eyes.” It has a different kind of beauty now. Check it out:
