[edit] New Orleans Center

What name is the building commonly known by locals as "New Orleans Center" listed here as? Wondering, -- Infrogmation 18:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• Are you referring to the New Orleans Centre mall? If so, the attached high-rise is listed as Dominion Tower, which is its last active name. As Dominion is no longer a tenant, the building will certainly receive a new name when it reopens. VerruckteDan 17:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
