re: Summer camps for kids in Greater BR area
Posted by man in the stadium on 3/12/24 at 9:38 am
Second that summer camps are one thing BREC does very, very well at. Unfortunately, the big sign up date for many of the more sought-after/space limited ones like horse camp at Farr has passed. Would still check them out. They have a ton of great offerings....

[quote]Between BTR, Nola and Hammond, I just don't see how this is necessary at all.[/quote]
Cant agree more...you have 3 airports within 25 miles of their site in Hammond, BTR, and LA Regional (Gonzales). Within 75 miles you have Lakefront in Nola, MSY, Port of S LA airport, Thibodaux, Houma, Be...

This is a much-parroted talking point that is at best an uneducated take. It’s like arguing you would pass on a winning Powerball ticket because last month there was a much bigger winning ticket. ...

CPRA has trumpeted the “decision based on science” motto since its inception and it’s worked to keep the projects (and flow of dollars to different parishes) largely apolitical until now. If they deviate and trash the guidance from the world’s best engineers and scientists, who all agree this is the...

re: Krewe of Freret to ban plastic beads for 2025
Posted by man in the stadium on 2/27/24 at 10:22 am
I don't view this as a political issue as some are making it out to be. It is just a common sense/convenience issue.
I've ridden for 15+ years in a different krewe on the uptown route and have also noticed people could care less about traditional beads. They now commonly avoid when you throw the...
re: If you have kids starting to search for college/career... what is left worth pursuing?
Posted by man in the stadium on 2/6/24 at 2:57 pm
There is more engineering work on the Gulf and East coasts than people to perform the work. To compound the issue/opportunity, the boomers are finally retiring and leaving a chasm of upper and mid level management jobs to be filled by increasingly younger staff....
re: Where to find a good Catholic Bible in the BR area
Posted by man in the stadium on 12/30/23 at 10:02 am
The variances in competing Catholic bible versions come down to the translations. Many Catholic biblical scholars recommend the ESV as most accurately translated from the source manuscripts. Other competing versions try to put things into plain, colloquial, or modern translations that can accidental...

Posted by man in the stadium on 12/18/23 at 9:28 am
I know it has been said many times on here, but it cannot be said enough:
"100-year" flood means 1/100 chance [b]in any given year[/b]. As with rolling dice, or flipping coins, tails can come up many times in a row, and the chances on the next flip are still 1/2. Previous outcomes do not affect c...
re: Recommendation for existing hard wired alarm system
Posted by man in the stadium on 12/13/23 at 10:07 pm
Live through this recently. About a year in and don’t regret retaining wired system.
Bought a house recently that was built in 80’s, monitored by ADT with everything hardwired but working. It was maybe $1000 locally to have Custom Security come re-rig the main box to cell, redo panels to Alarm.c...

Ac secondary drip pans have no drain…should they?
Posted by man in the stadium on 11/7/23 at 12:10 am
Asking because I recently went into a friends attic and her pan had overflowed since condensate line got plugged, float shutoff switch failed, and she had a ceiling water leak.
I was looking at mine and it has a capped thru-pan 3/4” pvc fitting. My hot water heater drain line runs 2 ft away and b...

Definitely not. They came to my house in BR which is not Bocage but definitely not income challenged and did the whole 9 yards for free. Blower door test helped me find some things to improve tightness. It’s a great program....
re: developers planning outdoor dining/events area on the river north of the fly, uptown NOLA
Posted by man in the stadium on 10/12/23 at 12:16 pm
Their problem will be they have no concept of the regulatory hell they’re about to go through with the corps. On top of the normal permits for building on or modifying a federal piece of infrastructure (the levee) and wetlands BS, they better pray to their deity of choice for some low river years. Y...
re: Zekes in Old Metairie
Posted by man in the stadium on 10/5/23 at 1:27 pm
I worked there summers during high school in both the front and back. Some thoughts and memories:
-I agree with TulaneLSU in that in its prime, it was far superior to other Old Metry seafood establishments such as The Galley.
-I didn't know Zeke well, but he put his blood, sweat, and tears int...

[quote]When the City Council passed their most recent measure earlier this month, Cantrell promptly announced she would veto.
