What a joke. The New Orleans Sewerage and water Board is beyond incompetent. In the 1400 block of Kildeer Street, between St Bernard Avenue and Paris Avenue in the Lake Terrace neighborhood, the S&WB came out to this house, dug a hole in the front yard, and discovered a broken pipe. Instead of fixing the pipe, they let it spew water for two weeks, eroding this person’s front yard. The erosion was so bad that a 70+ year-old oak tree fell over in the yard. The pine tree is vulnerable to collapse as well. Now a private contractor is out here trying to fix the situation. Councilman, Eugene Green, who represents this area, sent out one of his people who said “the Sewerage and water Board dropped the ball”. I’d say so. Unacceptable. When will the S&WB get its s#%^ together?!?

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.

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

My God! Scam artist, pretending to be a preacher, Jesse Duplantis, should be ashamed of himself. He literally lives in a 35,000 square-foot house. Is there a bigger home in the state of Louisiana? If this guy was some entrepreneur, so be it. Instead, he’s taking advantage of people in his community claiming to be a man of God. I don’t know how God would look upon a 35,000 square-foot house. That’s literally the size of a 100 room hotel. Sinful behavior.

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.

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

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

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

Hey Metro New Orleans drivers, I know this is hard for many of you to believe but the left lane on the interstate is for passing only. It’s illegal to drive in the left lane. And it doesn’t matter if you’re doing the speed limit or not. If someone is coming up your rear end and is going faster than you, you’re breaking the law by holding them back and driving slower in the left lane. Stay out of the left lane unless you’re passing aggressively! It’s the law

WE NEED TO REIMAGINE BOURBON STREET—it's a tourist trap that doesn't benefit the city. Imagine Bourbon with jazz clubs and dining, not strip joints and trinket shops. Upgrade the experience, upgrade the revenue, UPGRADE THE CITY. #NewOrleans #BourbonStreet

The Orleans Parish side of the 17th street canal continues to have an inferior flood wall/levee compared the Jefferson Parish side. It was inferior over 20 years ago when Katrina hit causing Lakeview to flood while Bucktown remained entirely dry. The lesser quality still exist today on the Orleans parish side. Why? Unacceptable. I’m guessing this is federal $$$ too. No excuses

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

I love the city of New Orleans. That’s why I live here. But this city is ruthless. A city that literally can’t pick up the garbage but is proactively ticketing, booting, and towing cars in and around Oak Street Po-Boy Festival on #OakStreet. Can’t handle the basica but is aggressively doing this. Just wrong

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.

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
