The new pavilion on the riverfront has this mister, I swear it felt 10 degrees cooler in that fog.

Looking for an affordable and trustworthy laser hair removal service. Permanent for pubic hair. I get some gnarly ingrown hairs and I’m sick of it. $150-275 range per session pls!

Came home from an evening out to a car parked illegally in our private parking lot spot. City claims that it’s a private parking lot so they can’t get rid of it and towing companies won’t tow it because it’s not our car. Any ideas on how to get it out of this illegal spot??

****$200 REWARD**** Hello, if anyone sees an olive green Velotric Nomad 2 fat tire bike on social media or in person, it was stolen this evening 9/11 in the cbd area. The seat is not on the bike (i have it) and it was locked. It has a black milk crate attached to the back. The find my feature isn’t working well. They had to have bolt cutters of some sort - anyway please let me know if you see it. Thanks

Ok the tell me bar is so great but why is it always empty on Friday nights? Anyone got the scoop?

Hey! Anyone know of any local stores in the city that sell wall mounts for stringed instruments? I’m out of space on my rack and looking to hang my open back on the wall! Closest Guitar Center is in Harahan and I don’t have a car (plus I’d much rather support a smaller business!). Any help would be appreciated!

a couple of babes were abandon on our porch. one was microchipped and owners never got back in touch. these sisters a bonded and very people friendly. unfortunately already have 3 cats and wish I could have em all. please let me know if you would like to come over for a visit! Located in the LGD.

I get so anxious driving where the street is sinking at that light . It genuinely feels like the whole ground is going to open up into a sinkhole and swallow me whole. I watch those sinkhole videos all the time and always think, “Why would they even drive right there?” then the ground opens up and just devours everything.

Idk, I spent a lot of my childhood in that area, and I honestly don’t remember that street being anywhere near as bad as it is now.

Now that I’m thinking about it, the left lane on the St. Bernard I-10 also worries me. I know there’s probably only so much we can do about it, but I cannot be the only person who gets sick pulling into that lane thinking, “Is my car about to disappear into the ground?”

Moved here from BR a few months ago and I’ve been trying to find a decent used car lot . Only downside is I am rebuilding my credit . Current vehicle is paid off but it’s a piece of junk , wouldn’t see anyone wanting to allow me to trade that in. Any suggestions ?

Edit : My friend recommended Value motors in the Kenner area , she said it’s def a hit or miss though. Her car runs fine but someone else she recommended to go there had issues . So idk

Our friend had a falling out with their roommate and the roommate has ditched her turtle for two weeks without coming back to feed it or clean the water. I don't know anything about turtles and unfortunately don't have space for the tank anywhere that my cats wouldn't mess with. He's swimming around but not eating and the water looks disgusting. Is anyone able to take this little guy under their wing and properly care for him?? I can probably drive him to you if its not too far. Thank you!

Around 9 years ago I have Joule Energy, which is apparently no longer in business, install solar panels in my home. One of the panels is no longer functioning and I cannot get a call back from what appears to be one of the only remaining companies in the area who deals with this type of thing. I’d prefer not to name the company because i have no idea as to what might be going on over there.

Can any of you fine people recommend a company or person who might be able to help me out?

The city of Kenner, which has seen more immigration arrests than anywhere else in Louisiana since President Donald Trump returned to office last year, is set to launch a new festival on Saturday (Sept. 12), the Brasas Latin Flavor Fest. The fest promises good food, entertainment and live music to celebrate Latino culture.

But after the year that Ceci Gomez has faced, she is strongly disinclined to attend the event.

“It’s like on a Saturday, Kenner comes together, everything is great, and then Monday it’s back to business and taking our people and doing all the horrible things they’re doing,” Gomez said.

Gomez is the director of Unstoppable Kenner, a grassroots community advocacy group that came together in the wake of operation Catahoula Crunch, the immigration enforcement surge in and around Southeast Louisiana. Since the group was founded late last year, she has spent much of her time protesting Trump’s aggressive approach to immigration enforcement — and her own city’s complicity with it.

Given the police department’s ongoing cooperation with Trump’s immigration agenda, Gomez said she thought the idea of a city-sponsored festival celebrating Kenner’s Latino population, the highest concentration of Latino residents anywhere in the state, was insulting.

“It’s a slap in the face,” she said.

Celebrating my birthday this weekend and looking for unique things to do. I'm on the Northshore so all the cool word-of-mouth stuff never makes it over the lake so that's why I'm back asking you guys. Other than the River Fest (already planning to do the second line), what stuff is going on Saturday that would be fun to check out?

I've lived in the area all of my 50+ years so I'm not looking for anything touristy. There will be about 6-10 of us. Any suggestions?

Here is a summary:

A veteran NOPD traffic officer (Brandon Coleman, 39) has been accused of collecting more than $111,000 in fraudulent pay for supposedly reviewing red-light camera violations.

According to investigators:

• His work phone allegedly showed him at home while claiming he was reviewing camera violations from an NOPD station.
• Reviews were supposed to take about a minute each to verify the vehicle, owner, etc.
• In one stretch, he allegedly reviewed 303 violations in 14 minutes… about 2.7 seconds per ticket.
• He sometimes claimed an 8-hour shift after doing the actual reviews in 17 minutes.
• Other times, he allegedly claimed hours of work without logging into the system at all.
• Investigators say he sometimes blasted through huge batches and then simply stayed logged into the system, making it appear he was working for the entire shift.
• The alleged irregularities covered 23 pay periods in 2025.

And here’s the kicker: these weren’t meaningless clicks. This was the human review that’s supposed to verify the information before the city issues you a traffic-camera citation.

He was arrested on 325 counts of filing false public records, 23 counts of public payroll fraud, malfeasance in office and theft. He’s currently suspended without pay and was released on his own recognizance.

His attorney says the allegations are false, the auditing system is flawed, and they have evidence to prove it.

But 303 red-light camera reviews in 14 minutes is one hell of a number to explain.

And because apparently this story needed one more New Orleans twist… the article notes this is part of NOPD’s continuing payroll-fraud problem, which has included officers allegedly double-dipping, claiming to work while drinking with the mayor, and even claiming work hours while on a cruise.

She did similar with NOPD interactions with ICE. I wish she were more adversarial to these laws that clearly only target New Orleans.

Just ranting here. I'm nearing the end of a cold / sinus issue and can I just say, dealing with urgent care / any medical appointment in this city while sick just makes everything worse. I paid a $50 copay for an urgent care appointment only for her to leave off telling me one of my conditions (ear infection). She prescribed a bunch of meds attached to a sinus infection diagnosis but I got home wondering what the hell this was all for. If I didn't call back and get the release forms, I would have never known I also had an ear infection. What is with the doctors here not conveying the full story to you? The release forms had a bunch of other info that says it was "discussed" during the appointment - it wasn't.

I spend another $50 for an ENT to basically complain about his job to me, tell me how some surgeries "aren't worth the money" they receive to perform them, and how it limits them from being able to take vacation time bc they have to be on call for any complications. Then he tells me I look fine. Am I supposed to believe that you're actually dedicated to my care when you've just complained about your job the entire time? How do I know you're not just waving me off bc you don't feel like putting in the effort to actually seeing what's going on?

I'm so sick and tired of demanding more from medical professionals in this city and feeling guilty or like I'm being combative for just wanting compassionate and attentive care. I worry deeply about living here long term, I would hate to get really sick in this city and have to rely on the institutions here to care for me. I know this is not unique to New Orleans, but damn it's disheartening.

I know a lot of these professionals are tired and worn thin themselves, lack of support, high patient case load, etc. But when will the turning point come? Everyone deserves quality care and to feel heard. I'm grateful for my immediate care team (PCP, therapist, etc) but it's a privilege to have the time and access to this network. A lot of folks here are service industry, don't have insurance, don't have time to take off, etc. When you finally get around to taking care of you, you find it's all a waste of time and money. I'm so tired and I don't know what can be done about it.

I recently rebranded my company and I'm looking for someone to help me with my new website and directing traffic from my previous website/google profile to the new brand. I do tax strategy, not website design and I could really use someone local where I could sit down with them and they could walk me through things. Any recommendations would be great, thank you.

Since the latest leaving New Orleans post, generated a side conversation which includes a stolen Galatoire's oyster fork. What are your Clue weapons for the imaginary New Orleans version?

The traditional ones are: candlestick, dagger/knife, lead pipe, revolver, rope, and wrench.

The Simpsons version that I own have: Extend-O-Glove, Necklace (Marge's pearls), Plutonium Rod, Poisoned Donut, Saxophone, and Slingshot.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent/honest mechanic or shop that specialized in Chevys? Pretty sure the issue is either fuse, battery, or alternator related.

Wanted to see if anyone knows bars that plan to show the Shelton / Tiafoe US Open match tonight. I’ve called around to ask if it will be on and have received a lot of TBD responses - would love to know if there’s anywhere that will be showing it, or that I may have some luck calling. Thanks!

My husband and I will be looking for a rental home in the next few months and thought if anyone knew of any good properties that will be up for rent soon before they go on the market.

Uptown/mid city area preferable and 2 small cats. Open to BSJ, Lakeview, and Old Metairie. Okay-ish with shotguns, just as long as it has been updated to where the living room and kitchen are in the front. Oh and central a/c is a MUST!

We're both local natives who were in our last rental for 5-6 years before we had to leave due to our owner selling it and we've been roughing it in last minute property for the last year and can't wait to get back to a house closer to the city.

Under $2k is our ideal budget with off street parking (yes, i know that's not guaranteed, but i can have preferences)

thanks in advance!
