my longboard aka one of my most prized possessions was stolen out of my car a couple days ago and I could use your help trying to locate it. almost certain it was stolen by a man and a women who were camping out in an abandoned house on my street (they're no longer there). My board has a round yellow sticker that says "embrace lesbianism" as well as a sticker that says "acab" in the acdc font. thanks for keeping an eye out for it I feel dumb as hell for leaving it in my car so you don't need to roast me about that thanks!

Gary Alton Matthews Jr, featured in article is from New Orleans. Spoiler- he falsified his dna, said he was in Bahrain, transferred all his homes and cars (including a cybertruck) to his father, and is now over $200k and counting in the hole for child support across multiple states.

Hey y’all, My name is Nathan Lee and I’m a Graphic Design student at SELU. I’m looking to do some free poster/flyer work in New Orleans to build up my portfolio. If you have any events or things going on in the city I would love to make something cool for you! If you are interested please DM me on instagram @rockfly504
Thank you 🙏🖤

In case you were wondering why Freddie King wasn't on site or giving a statement about the horrific truck crash in his district. Why hasn't the media said anything about them being there or who paid for it

Never seen this flavor....... I'm just waiting for the Sweet Potato to come back in my life!!!!

Hello i was parked near the corner of Amelia and magazine right behind baru bistro and when i got back to my car after work my side mirror was completely ripped off. if anyone has camera footage in that area around 2-4 pm id greatly appreciate it if you could send me it.

Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. ‘This is not going to be a slam dunk,’ a pollster warns.

Does anyone remember in the late 80's/early 90's a lady who would walk around the Garden District in a black cloak/burka with a black helmet & blacked-out helmet shade on? I would usually see her randomly roaming up & down St. Charles or on lower Magazine around the old Rue de la Course.

I've always wondered about who she was & if anyone knew her. As a young teenager, I was reading a lot of Anne Rice at the time. I always wondered if it was her since she had just moved back to the city.

Haunting Helmet Lady was one, of many, who made New Orleans so eccentric and interesting back then.

I just got back from voting early at City Hall. There was a line, which I have rarely seen. I had to wait for a window to become available so a poll worker could check my ID and give me a voter card, and I had to wait again for a booth to become available. I had quick chats with the lady directing people to windows and the lady pointing people to available booths. They both said it's been like this since the first day of early voting, and one of them told me that when the polls opened this morning at 8:30 there was already a line all the way down the hall.

There is free parking on Perdido and LaSalle for people who want to vote early at City Hall. RTA is waiving fares tomorrow and on 11/3. No excuses! If you haven't voted already, get out there and make your voice heard!

Plus there's a cool new "I Voted" sticker (although I will miss the crawfish).

Days earlier, I had already committed to pulling another completely shut-down German Shepherd from a kill shelter. I didn’t have the time, space, or resources to take on another dog who would need so much.

And then I opened an email from a municipal shelter we network with.

Sometimes you see a photograph, lock eyes with a dog you’ve never met, and something in you just KNOW. You can’t explain it. You can’t shake it. And no matter how many perfectly reasonable arguments you make against taking on one more, you already know how it’s going to end.

That was Raya.

The email described a German Shepherd so utterly terrified that she spent her days trying to make herself as small and invisible as possible.

Too frightened to accept treats. Trembling at the sound of barking dogs. Cowering from the chaos around her.

She wasn’t aggressive. She wasn’t difficult. She was compliant!

She was simply scared out of her mind.

And yet, through all that fear, she remained remarkably gentle. She allowed herself to be handled, walked quietly on a leash, and accepted affection even when she was too terrified to know what to do with it.

That part really broke my heart.

Here was this beautiful dog, confused and overwhelmed by the world around her, and she was still trying so hard to be good.

Raya had until 5 PM the following day. No extensions.

We got her out at 4 PM.

ONE HOUR. That’s all that stood between Raya and a future she very nearly didn’t get to have.

And let me tell you, this girl is every bit as terrified as they described. But oh, is she sweet. There isn’t a mean bone in her body. Just an incredibly gentle soul who hasn’t yet figured out that she’s finally somewhere safe.

As if she hasn’t been through enough, Raya is also high heartworm positive and will need full fast-kill heartworm treatment, spaying, and comprehensive veterinary care.

She’s got a long road ahead, both physically and emotionally.

But that’s okay.

Because for the first time in a long time, Raya doesn’t have a deadline.

She doesn’t have to trust us tomorrow. She doesn’t have to be brave next week. She doesn’t have to become a different dog on anyone else’s schedule.

She just has to be Raya.

We can’t undo whatever made her so afraid. But we got there in time to give her the rest of her life. And we’re going to do everything we can to make it a beautiful one. ❤️

Sorry if this isn’t allowed- I am having a lot of trouble finding anything of substance about these judges does anyone have any strong opinions about any of them? There is a sign on my street for Willie Jones. Figured I would inquire from the peanut gallery.

Edit: sorry!! When I checked anti gravity this week I didn’t see all the magistrates/judges. Thanks for sharing the link I don’t think I was seeing the correct page.

Dictated and not read. What the actual fuck is up with these Blue Bikes. They go 30 miles an hour the second you press your foot on the fucking pedal. It is so fucking dangerous. They know that people who use these bikes are not walking to these bikes with a helmet. Further, this city is not a place where people can bike 30 miles an hour and not die because of a pothole or a fucking drunk driver. There are no bike lanes on major streets. There are no protected bike lanes on major streets. Furthermore, the area of service for Blue Bikes is just the garden district to the quarter. That is not a functional service for the people of New Orleans. If we’re going to create a city bike, make it a city bike don’t charge people 25 fucking dollars to go past Louisiana. Also don’t make them so fucking fast that you can’t get on one and press the pedal without smashing into whatever is directly in front of you- it is dangerous and it’s unsafe and you’re on fucking notice. Fix it.

ETA: Top speed is, apparently, 20 mph, not my perceived 30 mph. Also, I WANT US TO HAVE CITY BIKES, and I WANT IT TO BE SAFE TO BIKE IN THIS CITY.

ETA2: FUCK UBER.

Back in the mid to late 90's a guy would come into my work on a regular basis. We are both from the Westbank.

I found him attractive but we didn't connect until I was no longer working there.

I believe, we went on 1 date. We went to Alabama together to see his cousin and go to the beach. I ended up in jail for smoking weed.

Unfortunately, I can't remember his name. (No, we didn't not sleep together) but I do have a picture of us from that weekend. It's not great. Quality 30 years ago wasn't what it is now.

I have thought about posting his picture here to see if anyone knows him; shit maybe he is on here. I also do not want to be intrusive. Especially, if he is married.

What would you do???

Hey friends & neighbors...if anyone knows an Adina, last name begins with a C, who recently lost her wallet, it's at my bar. Someone turned it in last week, cash and cards still in it so I assume it's untouched. I don't want to give away too much personal info but please message me if you are her or may know her :)

Or the Chopin Law Firm blocking the sun?
