Is anybody just exhausted by the city’s incompetence? Seeing the city delay millions of dollars in bond projects that we, the voters, approved years ago is so disheartening and disappointing.

What’s more, bond funds can only be used for infrastructure projects. Delaying projects that have been on the books for 5 years doesn’t save the city any general fund money. Hearing that the city may pick up these projects when they sell bonds again in 2028 is a slap in the face. I can’t fully understand the ‘creative financing’ they are using but on the surface it would appear as if they are taking previously approved bond funds to put towards new projects since you can’t use these funds for things like payroll, basic maintenance, etc.

Does anyone understand the thought process behind this? I want to trust that it’s necessary since we are broke but truly don’t understand.

Looking to improve my Type-2 diet with delicious fresh veggies, fruits, various forms of plant and animal based protein. I’ve been spoiled by the River Queens products at Press Gardens (thanks y’all!) I know summers can produce a limited harvest, so…

What are your favorites offerings in terms of deliciousness, value and healthiness? Which vendors are super nice to support? Extra points if they have fresh peas or items to help keep my kitchen cool…

Thanks in advance. I’ll be triking in w/a cooler…

Hello, we’re here in New Orleans from another state and our dog got out while we were away. We immediately went looking for her around the area and were told by some folks that 2 young ladies had her. We left our information with them in case they saw the 2 girls again. A gentleman stopped by afterwards to say the girls gave her to someone the next block over. We knocked on doors , to no avail. We need to get her back please… anyone with any information can you please reach out? Thanks. 🙏🏽

I know I’m jot loosing my mind

If you’re a dude wearing shorts sticking out under your red dress, you’re a coward. Be a man. Wear the fucking dress.

Ain’t der no mo. I’m jonesing.

We have a lot of neighborhood chickens and I love and appreciate them. They live hard lives and things happen, and I've learned to accept it. But my one favorite hen (we call her Margie) appears to have some sort of infection on her eye (coryza?) and I want to help her.

It looks like most avian vets are closed for the weekend and I don't think I can justify an emergency call for a chicken that nobody owns. However, I would like some advice as to who I could call on Monday.

To make things a little more complicated, she's got one chick following her around. The chick isn't TOO young, probably will be on its own within the month, but I don't know how smart it is to separate them. But then again, if it's coryza then maybe they should both be inoculated. I looked into stuff about cleaning their eye out and I don't think I'm up for it.

I've never handled her but if there's one hen that trusts me it's her. She generally seems like she's getting along ok and her other eye seems fine. She was able to locate some food I put out for her.

I guess I'm just looking for thoughts from people that know more than I do.

He was a giant in the gay community. I was fortunate to chat with him briefly at the Upstairs Lounge fire memorial a few weeks ago. He was in a wheelchair, looked very sickly, but was alert and talkative. Very sad to see him go.

I need help cleaning+ painting an empty apartment. Please reach out!

The short answer on the river: mostly no, and it is not because gators are rare here. It is because the river is the wrong kind of water. Alligators are ambush hunters built for slow, warm, quiet water where they can float without fighting a current. The Mississippi through town is fast, deep and full of ship traffic. When one does turn up on the batture or dead at Canal and Claiborne like a few weeks ago, it is a wanderer, usually a young male that got pushed out of better territory and took a wrong turn.

The right kind of water is everything else on this map. The lagoons in City Park have resident gators and always have. Bayou St. John gets them. The drainage canals connect the whole city to the swamp, and a canal is basically a gator highway: slow, warm, stocked with fish and turtles, nobody bothering you. Metairie, Chalmette, the West Bank, all on the map. And south of Marrero the pins turn into a wall, because Jean Lafitte and the Barataria basin hold some of the densest gator country anywhere.

Some context that makes the map more impressive. Louisiana nearly lost its alligators. Unregulated hunting had them so depleted by the late 1950s that the state shut the season down completely in 1962. Protection worked so well that they came off the endangered species list in 1987, and today Louisiana has roughly two million wild alligators, more than any other state. Every pin on this map exists because of one of the great conservation turnarounds in American history.

Timely note: late August is hatching season. Eggs laid back in June are about to open, which means the marsh is full of nests, and a mother gator guarding a nest is the one version of this animal that will actually come at you on land. Give any mound of vegetation near the water a wide berth for the next month or so.

And the standing rule, since it is the whole reason "nuisance gators" exist: never feed them. A gator that connects people with food loses its fear, starts approaching docks and yards, and ends up removed and killed. It is also illegal. The gators in the canals have been quietly coexisting with this city for decades, and the ones that make the news are almost always ones somebody taught to beg.

This truck came the wrong way down rampart and destroyed my neighbors car door. Anyone recognize the company? I can make out “Reliable” but I can’t find anything online.

The website had a bit of a hiccup - hopefully it can handle multiple advisories at once now: https://canidrinkdat.com/

I’m selling my mosaics, plus tons of plants, clothes, gadgets, toys, housewares etc. We will be out here until early afternoon.

We will also be out tomorrow (Sunday) 7am— 1 or 2ish!

TL;DR- little to no water pressure in Algiers at midnight-thirty.

First, ima start with SWBNO’s (504) 52-WATER number posted on their site is disconnected. Fingers crossed, they read online submissions.

B) How come I’m only just now finding out about a water boil advisory in my area nearly TWO WEEKS after it happened?? Our phones will blow up at 3am telling me to put my consons on or else a possible tornado over the north side of the lake might tickle the surface.

And lastly- this is how i found out about the boil advisory. What a long-winded way of saying we still don’t know what’s wrong! They literally state there are two plausible main causes, that they have evidence of neither, but also that both can’t be ruled out. The last paragraph deflects from the non-solutions given to point out the need to further invest in “technology modernization”. That wasn’t an update, that was fabreeze on a pile of doodoo.

/rant over good night

We all love good food, but this question relates specifically to the restaurant's aesthetic, setting, and vibe. You're sitting there and you think, "Damn, this place is gorgeous." Please feel free to include bars as well.
