Meth Lab kit found in French Quarter
meth lab? Did they get a grant from City Hall for adding amenities for tourists?
Welcome Decadence!
It’s not that we want tropical storms or even whatever-the-hell-that-just-was, but if we can follow 3 days of being shut in to small spaces while the wind and rain fight their way in with revelry and lively groupings (groupings, I said groupings) running the streets for the Southern Decadence event, I can get over it.
Southern Decadence
Dear French Quarter bashing locals
The electricity was not restored in the Quarter before the rest of the city-it never went off, which happened during Katrina as well.By the way, do take a moment to appreciate a well-built neighborhood with underground utilities and ask yourself why rest of the city doesn’t follow this lead?
The Quarter is NOT made up entirely of tourists with glow sticks, but many, many locals working and living in the old city as locals have since 1718. Everyone who appreciates diversity and joy and community across the city and world comes to the French Quarter to find it here as well. Stop bashing other neighborhoods and appreciate what we have-everywhere.
French Quarter Tree Damage
I’ve been working on a tree inventory of the French Quarter; guess I need to update it now!
