THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Gentilly Sugar Hill, near Dillard University and bounded by Gentilly Boulevard on the north, Florida Avenue on the south, Elysian Fields Avenue on the east and A.P. Tureaud Avenue on the west.
Its name is on a handsome wrought-iron sign on the St. Anthony Avenue neutral ground south of Gentilly Boulevard.
It's hard to come by information on the history of Sugar Hill. Neighborhood leader Barbara Blackwell and Sugar Hill association president Debra Joseph say most of the relevant research and historical materials washed away in Hurricane Katrina when the home of the former association president, Annie Avery, filled with water.
