The remnants of Bayou Metairie at City Park Ave. and Carrollton. If you take the sidewalk and the little City Park train tracks out of the picture, this is original New Orleans. Untouched. This kind of scene is what Bienville and Iberville saw back in 1699.

I’m assuming most New Orleans Saints fans are happy right now. Payton is beloved here in New Orleans. But the way he exited NOLA left a sour taste in many fans mouths. Wrong assumption on my part or right on the money? Similar to Saban with LSU Football fans. Don’t know many who were rooting for Alabama.

Oh boy! Not only a Newman school magnet on the back of the vehicle but a Country Day magnet as well. That’s $50,000 minimum in school tuition. Add another child to either school and it’s another 25K. Private school is expensive.

Trey Yuen in Mandeville isn’t Chinese food, it’s Chinese Cuisine! And one of the Metro New Orleans area’s best seafood restaurants. The Wong Brothers love the local seafood bounty. Worth the trip from the Southshore every time. The Jade Garden appetizer is so good. (Trey Yuen in English is Jade Garden). And Trey Yuen’s signature Tong Cho sauce. Yummy.

Clancy’s in uptown New Orleans is one of the city’s finest restaurants. Not a bad thing on the menu. Everything’s incredible. Speckled trout. Puppy drum with jumbo lump crab meat. Chicken and andouille gumbo. Lemon ice box pie for dessert.

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

Several inches of rain fell on New Orleans this afternoon. A few inches in about an hour and a half. Torrential downpour. This is Vendome in Uptown New Orleans. Over a foot deep in many spots. In 90 minutes, New Orleans just produced nearly 50% of San Diego‘s annual rainfall. It’s crazy

I believe the Houston’s on St Charles in the 40s was a Higgins boat factory. I’m assuming these are some leftover parts or machinery from that factory. These are in the corner of the Houston’s parking lot. There’s a history lesson around every corner in New Orleans.

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.

More from Lake Pontchartrain and Lakeshore Drive in New Orleans. Near the Mardi Gras fountain. The lake is all the way up to the top of the flood wall on the South Shore, splashing over onto Lakeshore Drive.

.Shell new Gulf of Mexico deep water drilling headquarters. Under construction at the river District in New Orleans. 800 employees of Shell will be in that building when it’s completed. New Orleans needs more of this.

If Gayle Benson were to sell the Saints, she has at least two viable suitors. Todd Graves of Raising Cane‘s (worth $22 billion according to Forbes) and Tillman Fertitta of the Houston Rockets ($11 billion). Both have said they would not move the team.

Todd Graves, the Louisiana native who created Raising Cane's, is worth $22 billion. Imagine Gayle Benson selling the Pelicans to him for billions, then distributing that money locally before selling the Saints too. #RaisingCanes #NewOrleans

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

Car wars erupting in New Orleans! A Chevy dealer wants to move from a rough area to a prime location near Lakeside Shopping Center, potentially becoming the top dealer. But other dealers are opposing the move. #NewOrleans #CarDeals

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

New Orleans at its best. The St Aug Marching 100. And remember, these are just kids! 15, 16, 17-year-olds. Masters at their craft. Mardi Gras 2026. The French Quarter.

Holy smokes! LGD Lawn and Landscapes of New Orleans just installed a chipping and putting green in my backyard. Synlawn is the same synthetic turf that Tiger Woods uses in his TGL golf tour. Get yours. So friggin cool. Taking my short game to another level

The Senator Nat Kiefer Sr UNO Lakefront Arena was built with the NBA in mind. Designed where upper deck seating could be added to the building. Remove the roof structure and build up! Btw, Larry Bird’s 60 point game in 1985 was played at the Lakefront Arena

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.

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.

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
