Canal Street at Rampart in New Orleans and the French Quarter. The corner where the Hard Rock Hotel under construction collapsed, killing three people. That happened nearly 7 years ago. Time stands still in New Orleans. Still no development on this coveted site. An entryway to the French Quarter. Just crazy. We’ve got to do better. Lost tax revenue

Attention City Of New Orleans! Prytania, about 100 yards before downtown side of Napoleon. An absolutely dangerous pothole/sinkhole that could rip off the front spoiler, and/or blow out your front tires and bend the rims, of one’s vehicle. Unacceptable. Fix this now. Could kill a motorcyclist. Especially at night. Can’t see it! Hit this at speed, 35mph, airbags could go off. Bad in both directions! At least have blinking light caution cone. But ideally fix yesterday

In the last 20 years, New Orleans has lost 1/3 of its tree canopy. We’re down to 18% citywide. That’s unacceptable. Atlanta Georgia has a 47% tree canopy. Oak trees not only keep things cooler in the summer months, they are incredible flood mitigators, absorbing hundreds of gallons of water each. We need to plant oak trees all over the city all the time.

Why is New Orleans spending $160,000 for an Indiana company to come snow plow some areas for 24 hours? Couldn’t the city buy a plow or 3, that hooks on the front of an existing city truck? $160k for 24 hours seems excessive. But key road, interstate, must be cleared

One of the best food deals in the entire Metro New Orleans area. Short Stop Po Boys on transcontinental a block off airline has a small roast beef for $6.42. I don’t know how you can beat that. And it’s one of the best roast beef Po Boys in town. An 8 inch roast beef Poboy is just $6.42. That’s crazy, in a good way.

You have to be impressed with the City Of New Orleans, the new City Of New Orleans! Helena Moreno and essentially her infrastructure chief Steve Nelson. They are attacking the street problems I’ve been posting. The latest, Carrollton Avenue right past the I-10 entrance. This problem has been there for years. They are fixing it right. Not some patch, but doing it properly. A permanent fix. Go NOLA go. I posted my video last Wednesday. As I predicted, less than a week later, getting it done.

Lots of little bugs on Lake Pontchartrain at night time. Got clocked last night coming across the Causeway. Going to the North Shore during daylight hours, not a bug on the windshield. Coming back at night, got shellacked. After my washer fluid ran out I barely made it across the bridge being able to see through my windshield. When I pulled into the Exxon station on Causeway at West Esplanade, there were a dozen other cars already pulled in, drivers scraping bugs off their windshield. Crazy amount of bugs

NOLA is potentially gearing up for the 2031 Super Bowl with a massive expansion of Louis Armstrong International Airport. Plans include adding 23 gates to the terminal and potentially building a new terminal with 25 more, almost doubling the airport's capacity. #NewOrleans

This native New Orleanian Briggs Barrios is a genius. Literally! Number one in his class in high school, number one in his class in college and he makes soft serve ice cream. Not just any soft serve ice cream, Super Witch is the name. This guy is special and so is his business model. You order online in advance, you pay in advance, and then there’s a pick up time, it’s going on right now in Elmwood. Amazing. Google Super Witch

I am all for bike lanes. When and where necessary. But in New Orleans, eliminating a lane for vehicular traffic to make it a bike lane when there’s no cyclists is crazy. Like Baronne Street downtown or Gentilly Boulevard, Marconi has this ridiculous set up where a lane of traffic is lost to a bike lane with no cyclists.
