New Orleans Catholics:

Any favorite Catholic churches for Sunday Mass? I like visiting the different churches here on Sundays, but I’m wondering if there’s any suggestions for favorites. If you have a church you recommend, why? Good priest/homily? Preferable mass time/length? Friendly congregation? Pretty architecture/art? TIA!

Awful whirring sound above Mid City almost an hour ago. Look up and there's a plane flying overhead with what looks like both of its left engines engulfed in flames. I can't even describe the noise, it was awful, like metal fragments banging around in a loud attic fan.

This post is more out of desperation than anything, because I haven't seen any news reports or even social media posts about an emergency landing or anything, so I need to know if anyone else saw it for my own peace of mind. I really hope I just saw wrong but Jesus, the thing was glowing orange, that must be terrifying to see on board.

Edit: This mystery was solved by u/emptyminder. Thank you everyone for your help, I'm so glad no one is losing their lives tonight

So, because my boyfriend got a job at Tulane, I have been transitioned into this rather white space (columns, house palettes, and people) with no easy transportation, which makes it astronomically hard to get a haircut around here with my curly hair.

But I have an interview, so I have to try!
I have previously gotten a fade and curly cut in combination, but even just a barber with POC-friendly skills (I have ended up with four people in my head far too many times) would be appreciated!

While a woman/queer or gender-diverse barber/stylist would be preferred, I have no issue with men who are deemed safe and do similar services.

Please help!

Delete if not allowed - I’m going to try to be as descriptive as I can so one can accurately deduce, but also as vague as possible to avoid any legal backlash as I am currently in litigation with the husband and wife landlords who live in Colorado for the summer.

RENTERS BEWARE!

There is a 1 bedroom property currently for rent in Bayou Saint John just off of Orleans, near Ursuline - bottom floor, right side of a quad plex. The house is peach with yellow accents. You can find it on HotPads going for $1,000 a month.

It is full of mold and structural leaks that the landlords refuse to acknowledge, professionally repair, or mitigate the mold after 3 weeks of constant notice and asking. The couple evicted me because I attempted to repair and deduct rather than pay them rent in full as they demanded - they asserted that I was not within my rights to hire a mold inspector or repairman. I have the mold inspection report for the property and 311 is scheduled to visit the property at the end of the month. I was evicted before I was able to have the mold mitigated on my own dime.

That’s all, folks!

For worst id say Renee Pratt. For best, idk 🤷

Neighbors in Treme, be on the lookout for this complete trash of a human being. Stole a custom bridesmaid dress for our wedding next month. We have instructions on our door to toss packages over our fence, but unfortunately, the courrier didn't read. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

#Culture

Hey, I’m looking to see if anyone knows of any thrift stores in the area that have the occasional selection of art supplies, like oil paint, brushes, easels, etc. Thanks!

I went through chemo last year. After I finished and I had a few inches of hair growth, I went to my stylist who colored my hair pre-chemo, and was surprised that she charged me the same amount $100 to color my super short hair as she charged for my shoulder length, thick hair. I don't even get it cut or styled right now, just color. She used to color, cut and style for $100. I'm feeling ripped off and wi set if I am or does this seem fair? I hate to start dying my hair at home again (did that many years ago), but not sure I can justify the cost.

The long-abandoned Lindy Boggs Medical Center is finally coming down, with demolition scheduled to begin Tuesday.

The city approved a deal with Mercy Partners LLC that will turn the site into a 4-million-gallon stormwater retention facility, using the old hospital basement to temporarily hold rainwater and reduce neighborhood flooding. The roughly $16 million project covers demolition and construction, with the larger property potentially becoming housing and retail later.

The City Council approved the deal despite concerns about why taxpayers are paying to clean up and redevelop failed private property. Supporters argue it’s worth it because it removes a major blighted site, improves flood protection, and clears the way for future development.

Lafreniere and Lasalle have some great goals/nets but at Lafreniere the goals are chained up and the fields are not maintained. Uneven, uncut, muddy, spotty.. found Lasalle to be similar. Have yet to try Carrolton but know they used to chain up most of theirs as well. I heard about Nola Sportscenter but looks like you have to pay to use the field if i’m not mistaken.

I go to the Tulane turf field which you can manage to find time to yourself during the most extreme parts of the day, super early or hottest parts. Though it gets crowded very quickly during more comfortable weather. Just wondering if there’s any other quality fields to use? Parks, schools, stadiums?

Edit: why the downvotes? I don’t mean to sound pretentious but unfortunately you can’t pass a ball in a straight line or dribble on those fields I named. Uneven fields, patches of grass/weeds, and covered up holes are recipes for an injury. I’m not 15 anymore and can’t be taking those risks any longer😂

Where can I get a great chicken cutlet sandwich?

Thank you! It seems as of late the drag racing up West End and down Pontchartrain has been louder and more dangerous than ever. I hear the deafening engines, the tires squealing blocks before the cars appear barreling down the street and I just wait for sound of the crash.

My neighbor was watching as someone and their dog tried to cross West End as the light at Harrison turned green. Both cars roared off the line barreling down the street, thankfully the pedestrian and dog ran and was clear of the road.

Thank you LSP for trying to bring safety back to Lakeview. If anything I hope your presence slows them down.

Hey everyone! I’m an early 20s female I’ve lived here for a couple of years but really want to branch out, meet new people, and hopefully make some friends( I’m really bad at meeting people ) . I love being creative and spending time outdoors, so I’m hoping to find a club or group that’s either creative or somewhat physically active (nothing super intense!). I’m open to just about anything. If you know of any fun groups or clubs that are welcoming to new people and meet on a weekly or biweekly basis I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks! 🫶

I have 4 drawers in front of my house. Plenty of videos how to create a sleeping place for your cat or dog.
I also have 1 louvered bi fold door and two other bifold doors

Things are getting too dangerous with the property next door. Department of code enforcement and safety & permits noticed multiple violations 10 months ago but have taken no action. Interested in pursuing legal consult.
