Thoughts on the Calumet 14? Worth the tag?

Really looking forward to trying some Smoke Wagon. Haven’t seen it in the wild yet.

If its anything like TA’s barrel it’s worth a lot more than 23.99 or whatever they are charging.

Not trolling. Under 310.5 is -135.

By my math he’d have to win FL even if he won OH, AZ, WI, MN, and PA.

I just moved uptown and there is a guy down the street who is known colloquially in the neighborhood as crazy Dave. He walks the streets at all hours of the day and night usually screaming something nonsensical and occasionally breaking out into song.

He has a somewhat normal appearance. He is always pleasant if you stop him to say hi, and will break from his schizophrenic episode to have a very polite conversation with you.

I’m pretty sure I found TulaneLSU.

You’re going to be out of our price range at that sq ft in 70115. We live in 70115 at the moment. Pre-approved for 550k. Fiancée is in real estate and can do entire transaction off-market so no commissions fwiw.

No but many likely work for/own businesses that are tied to the local economy. Restaurant/bar owners, executive chefs, commercial real estate, banks that lend to local businesses, Air BnB ownership, event planning companies/venues...need I go on?

I think it’s a little short-sided to suggest that the Nola economy at large won’t be affected by the pressures of relatively zero tourism.

Fiancée and I have been looking for our first home for about a year- seriously for about 6mos. Rented for past 2.5 yrs. This is my 2nd stint in Nola - lived here 2010-2012 for grad school before moving out West for work. We would like to stay uptown in a 3/2.
Having a hard time understanding the current market as I’m sure many are. Not a ton of inventory, but a competitive market with the number of buyers in our price range which would tell you prices should be going up. They appear to be staying pretty steady, however.


I just have a hard time believing prices won’t be coming down in the next 12-24mos with covid’s effect on the local economy. Local restaurants/tourism all being depressed for the near term should have a significant effect on home prices, no?

UPDATE:
Funny how things work out - Put an offer in Friday on a house near Jefferson & Magazine significantly below list and the sellers accepted at roughly $265/sq. ft. which we believe is a steal. They’re also paying the majority of closing costs. I feel like it will be hard to lose with this location, footage and yard.

I tried to start this thread to bring awareness to an issue that I knew would matter to the people of this board. Clearly, if you see the activity in this thread relative to other threads on the golf board, the issue of closing the Golf Club at Audubon does matter to people. Rather than allowing the thread to serve its purpose, you have tried to derail it from the beginning with your ramblings of irrelevant bullshite not related to the specific issue, instead trying to call attention to some over-arching issue with Louisiana golf.

Because I cannot stand your insufferable moronic rambling any longer, I figured I’d set the record straight as a good friend of someone close to the issue.

-First and foremost we are talking about the oldest golf course in Louisiana. One that has been in continuous operation for 122 years and is the birthplace of golf in our state.

-Ron Forman’s comment on the course “basically breaking even” is an over-generalization. The course hosts ~30,000 rounds/year at an average of $35 per (>$1MM). That does not include the tournament revenue.

-The maintenance budget for the course is just under $700,000. The equipment is leased.

-The estimated maintenance for the green space is $300,000 PER YEAR. This does not include the amount needed to convert the course into a functional park.

There are a lot of moving parts because of the size of the operation and the inclusion of things like the event space for weddings etc. into the budget. All that said, To characterize the “break-even” course as a failure from your la-z-boy in Zachary or whatever shite suburb of BR you’re from is ridiculous.

Judging by the public response to the news, you’re on the wrong side of this one, man. Just give it a rest.
