A neighborhood with two city lines
Terrytown shares a ZIP conversation with Gretna and a border with Algiers. The permits do not overlap. Jefferson Parish covers Terrytown. Cross into Gretna and the city permit office takes over. Cross into Algiers and New Orleans takes over. We confirm the side of the line before we pull a permit.
The roofs themselves are repetitive in a useful way: brick ranch, hip or simple gable, asphalt. The judgment is age and deck, not a custom copper valley. We still look. A soft eave on a 1960s house is common in this humidity.
