Make My House a Mardi Gras Float by Levy Easterly – GoFundMe

talk about “eyes on the street”!
If you have been to the corner of Barracks and Chartres during Carnival in the past few years, you have seen this house. Always decked out in Mardi Gras finery and welcoming dogs.

Help Levy reach his goal of topping himself with this latest idea for Fat Tuesday. (They also have “porch sales” throughout the year where great deals can be had….)

and get some serious Karnival Karma for helping with this.

City withdraws anti-people ordinance

We appreciate Councilmember Palmer forwarding your email to us. If you have not heard, we have requested that the proposed ordinances affecting Jackson Square be withdrawn at this point. We have received significant input from constituents and appreciate your insights as well. We will take all of this under consideration as we work with the Council to revise any ordinance that affects Jackson Square and those who work, live and visit there.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

Best regards,

Scott
