"If Jamie loses by 2 points, we are going to get up Wednesday morning and we are going to wonder where the hell were you [national Democrats]?" - James Carville told me last week over his frustration that National Dems wouldn't spend $$ in Louisiana

It’s a true shame. I used to have my photo studio/office in this block and it’s such a great place to be! It’s a shame they didn’t purchase the building when they had the opportunity. Does anyone know which national retailer is going in here?

Anyone else looking to the retired meteorologists for hurricane predictions? I’m so glad Margaret and Bob are active on socials!
Have you seen copies of the latest St Charles Ave Magazine out in the wild? Every place I have looked is completely out. I’m in it and would love copies!
And right on the 3 pm nose…here comes the New Orleans rain! I feel for the teachers doing carpool line.
In Orleans Parish, do you still have to get inspection stickers? I know the law is changing but it seems it’s also parish by parish.

Something major happened with the brand new @SWBNewOrleans power system, knocking out drainage and water pumps for 30 minutes, according to a press release. No word yet on whether a boil water advisory will be called.
This morning’s weather - oh boy - it’s going to be a long day with little sleep. Between the lightning and thunder, the phone alerts, and power surges, it’s been wild. ⚡️
It’s been a while since I’ve had insomnia. The weather is crazy - so much lightning! And now a tornado watch. The alert made me jump but since I was already up, I was able to get to it quickly. Waiting to wake my boys up until we know more.

Where did y’all park to go to the tall ships? What time of day did you get there? Worth trying to tour one? #sail250
Maybe it’s time to start selling my book again?! lailluminator.com/2026/05/11…
My son & I noticed a lot of smoke on our way to school this morning. When we got closer we noticed there were no sirens, so we called it in. Operator asked if we could see through the smoke & he was able to describe it. I hope everyone’s okay! Great teachable moment.
We were tourists in our own city today. Strolled through the French Quarter, ate on a balcony on Decatur and fluttered to the Aquarium. Gorgeous day to be out and about!
So many Jewish organizations are having to beef up security - schools, synagogues, nonprofits - and it comes at a cost. Thankful New Orleans has a security team in place.
The Michigan synagogue that came under attack this week when an armed man drove his car into the building had for months been strengthening its security apparatus. wwltv.com/article/news/natio…
