The thread title is misleading. Specific to Nola, the article only talks about adolescent Bull Sharks and notes there is little history of attacks on people in the Lake in 100+ years. I've always known there were Bull Sharks in the Nola area. This article is nothing ground breaking.

Elvis and Led Zeppelin played there. The amount of history in that building is amazing.

The decision not to use the FEMA money to repair it was pure spite. They didn't want Mardi Gras krewes to be able to use it anymore. And the $40 million in FEMA money allocated to fix it 20 years ago will now only cover the roof and mechanical systems if that. The city cut off its nose to spite its face.

Big Nola law firms have historically had a lot of staying power. Not counting mergers, prior to 2026 I could only think of two closing in my lifetime. This makes two in the last two months.

Say are you about a size 14?

When I was a senior we had drinks with some of our teachers who were the same age, and I'm pretty sure it was at the same bar. It was cool to have a beer with your teacher. Shame on these girls for letting it get weird.

Good find on that plaque. The Rex organization went out there a year ago and did a remembrance. It was on the wyes meeting of the courts broadcast last year.

If they're offering to stop it with the signs and screaming, I say take the deal. Let's start them off with the Discombobulator, like we did with the Venezuelans.

We're talking about two different things. I'm talking about the modern understanding of Mardi Gras, the one people from all over the world come to see in New Orleans evey year: purple green and gold floats throwing items to people in a street parade and then a ball afterwards. New Orleans started all that. Comus came up with the format. Rex picked the colors.

You're talking about Mardi Gras as an ancient holiday with feasts and celebrations, and claiming it for Mobile, which is ridiculous. Mardi Gras in that respect predates the discovery of North America and Christianity itself.

Nah bro. I just know my facts. Carnival actually goes back to ancient Rome and even before that. Mobile claiming Mardi Gras is comical. And what people think of as New Orleans Mardi Gras was invented by the old line New Orleans krewes. The Mobile celebrations didn't even have the same format or scale.

Mobile was a new years celebration. Try again.
