HNOC Concerts in the Courtyard
Tonight, stop and listen to one of the best clarinetists in town perform in the lovely Royal Street courtyard of the Historic New Orleans Collection.
Suspected bike thief arrested in wig disguise after ex-bounty hunter, Facebook group run stakeout
“Gray tailed him for a few blocks, when, he said, Wells found an easy target: a red cruiser bike tethered with a cable lock. With a snip, the bike was free and Wells was on the move, Gray said.
Wells pedaled up to the Lowe’s hardware store on Elysian fields where he tried to sell the ride to the day laborers out front, Gray said. Finding no takers, Wells approached Gray, he said.
“Know anyone who wants to buy a bike,'” Wells asked, according to Gray’s account.
Gray said he only had about $15 on him. Wells said that was good enough, and the deal was sealed, Gray said.”
Keep your eyes and ears out about suspicious behavior around bikes and report it to the Stolen Bikes Nola Facebook page. And DON’T use cable locks.
TBFQ (throwback French Quarter)
“The photos’ provenance is unclear. They are neither dated nor credited, and the handwritten captions provide only the barest of details. But at least some have been printed before, in the 1917 edition of “The Times-Picayune Guide to New Orleans,” a book aimed at tourists that was published annually for many years.”
Nine Roses brings its Vietnamese food to the French Quarter
Finally, the French Quarter gets Vietnamese food! It’s always been hard to believe that the old Quarter missed the emergence of our region’s favorite Asian cuisine.
Nine Roses is my personal fav of the West Bank Viet spots, so you can be sure to find me here regularly.
A few years ago, while a staff member of the public market organization Market Umbrella, I did a series of short films under the name “Go Fish”; one featured an interview with the Catholic leader of the NO East Vietnamese community, Father Vien, who gave the history of the New Orleans Catholic Vietnamese community:
Nine Roses Café is open Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Nine Roses Café: 620 Conti St., New Orleans, 504.324.9450

Best things about 2015 FQF
Map of French Quarter at Wilkinson and Chartres (why not have permanent versions of this up at some businesses, FQ associations?)
Recharging station (again- see above, why not maintained in some bank lobbies, FQ associations?)
Engineering for walkers on Decatur. Maybe this needs to be set up more often, City Hall?
I applaud the addition of mushroom pies at Lasyone’s tent accompanied by their polite staff. They had the crawfish and mushroom pies switched on Saturday and offered freebies on Sun when I told them they gave me the wrong ones. All’s well that ends well.
the free dance lessons.
The chance to see and hear great LOCAL musicians give their all just as if there were huge crowds out front.
Wonderful indoor concerts with some lovely choices
