I dont know. STBSO office posted on their Facebook page an attempted robbery on mehle and St Claude last night just after midnight. The safe place and able to still work in NOLA is going out the window.


My brother delivered pizza for Domino's and was held up 3 houses from the post office on Mehle in 1990. My dad made him quit immediately. You don’t judge a place by a one off.

Sure. It’s different here now but crime isn’t even a blip on my radar. You want to frick around in this parish, God bless ya. The entire sheriff’s office is waiting on your dumb arse.

Yeah after the tornado was sketchhhh...SBSO did a good job coralling that.

Dynamic is different in Old Arabi area, especially past/around that Rallys. (Tigerdew is right its been that way since I was a kid but it is more amped up now)

Grew up on Friscoville. Ive seen it play out in slow motion (and still have a house...on the sketch side )

My dad left our doors unlocked and the key in the ignition of our Suburban. Thinking about that now is wild. It’s not just a Parish thing. It’s more about how society evolved.

They’re worried St. Bernard people won’t get the jobs… me personally, I don’t care who they hire if they eventually move down here


It’ll bring companies no matter what. All these ports just compete who can give the lowest prices. Look at Georgia. Savannah has blown up

Serious question since that isn't my industry. Are there a lot of those ships wanting to make a port call in New Orleans? Or is this an attempt to gain that business?


Yes and yes.

New Orleans is a major rail hub that sits at the mouth the Mississippi for barge options north, too.

Intermodal solutions alone make New Orleans a very desirable port for shippers.

The school board’s lawsuit against the port will proceed… IMO this ends with a settlement and the outgoing members of the board will be set for life
