Power transformer blew last night in the French Quarter. While the Entergy repair crew was there a “local” showed up with a gun and started threatening them.

Unreal.

“Entergy standard issue”

Laughing at NOLA needing police escorts for linemen! Voting has consequences!

Wish we could bring organized crime back to NOLA like the old days. Would pay to see a couple of goons take this guy out right on the street. Or just hustle him away and Let someone discover his remains in Algiers a week later.

Essence fest will probably pull out of New Orleans and their ball elsewhere

The horror.

Would really do better in Atlanta or Houston at this point for such a niche festival.

Just a case of putting the cart before the horse.

Respek first.

Utility repairs secondary.

Was he trying to rob them or did he perceive some disrespect from the line crew? Article just says menaced.

Walking down the street in the Quarter with a big cup of draft beer.. an afternoon rain shower starts coming down ... and you cover your *beer* instead of your head .

America was legit so much better with organized crime. Just look at what Vegas has become now that the mob isn’t running things anymore.

Ok , when I remembered that one just above, it made me remember/look up a few others.. Forgive me .


.

Most New Orleans things ever :



You think the breeze from a flying cockroach feels good on a hot summer day .


Your ancestors are buried above the ground.


Your last name isn't pronounced the way it's spelled.


Every once in a while, you have waterfront property.


You don't know the real names of your friends, only their nicknames. ( I for sure knew a guy only known as "N***** , another only known as "Cornbread" and two guys named "Easy Money .")



You don't learn until high school that Mardi Gras is not a national holiday.



You use a "#3" washtub to cover your lawn mower or your outboard motor.



You reinforce your attic to store Mardi Gras beads. .. (I have 100% done this .)

Decepticon or Autobot?


Big difference.
