Any Walk of Fame that includes Teedy in any way or form is officially invalid.

Confused about Todd Graves and many others on the list.

Friend,
That is an amazingly bad list. Where are Tom Fitzmorris, George Washington Cable, Walker Percy, Andrew Higgins, Joe Impastato, and The Reverend Benjamin Palmer? It is probably for the best a list of New Orleans’ best people is not included in a list with names like John Georges, Marc Morial, Master P, and Birdman.
Yours,

LaToya Cantrell (Honorary Inductee)
WTF?

I’d certainly put Mother on the list over that home wrecker Teedy.
Posted on 11/2/24 at 10:14 pm to arseinclarse
Very odd list but know the Odums family well so good for him.
Posted on 11/2/24 at 10:19 pm to arseinclarse
No Lootie no care.

What deems someone an “honorary” inductee?
Posted on 11/2/24 at 10:24 pm to arseinclarse
Marc Morial and Dutch Morial? These are two of the biggest fricking fraud/crooks in the history of politics. What a fricking waste.

He’s been living in New Orleans for over 50 years and raised his family there. He’s definitely a New Orleanian.

Latoya Cantrell must have made up the list or the mayor must have had to sign off of it. How else would she have gotten on there.?
Where are people like Al Hurt and Pete Fountain?
ETA
Okay, now I at least see Pete Fountain.
He didn't get his own line in the OP.
He had to share his line with someone else, albeit another renowned musician.

If Todd Graves can be on the list, so can Big Lee.
