What did it say? Desire?

Is that what it said? Desire Projects?

The Desire Project was torn down years ago.Very familiar with the place in the Seventies.Notorious even back then.Virtually all single moms on welfare which at the time was less than 100 dollars a month plus food stamps.Lots of good folks in there but their future was extremely dismal.A few of the kids got out via college and did quite well.
When Desire was built in the Fifties it was considered a big step up from the small frame houses in the Ninth Ward.By 1970,it had become ramshackle and looked down upon by the most humble homeowners in the area.
