Raining by the Fairgrounds #jazzfest2026 #nolasky #closetoeshoes #raindelay

Why are the barricades not up at Gentilly and Maurepas? Cars pouring into the neighborhood and bikers and walkers all over the place. Saw a near miss that almost took out a lady on a bike at N White and Maurepas. #nolasky #jazzfest2026

Popped in to see Parlour Greens in the Blues tent. Outstanding plus they did a little bitty tribute to Sharon Jones 🥹

I am gulping down the coffee this morning.

If you are coming to the JF today, bring a hat, look out where you’re walking because our sidewalks are wonky and as you’re leaving the neighborhood, please do not pee behind my camper. Just ask and I will happily let you use my bathroom ☀️🎶💃

If you’re going to Jazz Fest, I made this map of unmarked music heritage sites near the Fair Grounds, including Alex Chilton’s apartment and Eddie Bo’s base of operations when he cut “Hook and Sling” (which was then a seafood depot but was razed for a Walgreens). acloserwalknola.com/tours/jazz-f...

The Pearl River, marking the Louisiana-Mississippi state line, at Pearlington, MS 10/09 #louisiana #mississippi #photography #aerial #borders #stateline

Justin Hayward at the Orpheum last night was outstanding. 10/10

Good morning New Orleans and fuck ICE

Road crew out there this morning finishing the job only one month after SWB fixed a water main leak. Living near the Fairgrounds has its advantages when it comes to street repairs, especially right before Jazz Fest 🤣

A New Yorker being bested by a Chicago guy has gotta lead to feelings.

Piña Colada on the porch.

Hazardous Waste Disposal today at the NO Recycling Center until 1pm. Only happens once a year! #nolasky

Cardinals win! Finally 🙄

For anybody still in want or need, Walmart on Chef still has great selection of Elmers Easter eggs, Peeps, fancier chocolate, and egg dye options.

Cardinals win! ♥️⚾️♥️

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Saw a few old windows on the curb for free when I was waking the dog and went back and picked them up. Got a project in the works.

My husband this morning after putting down new topsoil and throwing down some grass seed over the weekend.

Downtown Super Sunday 🎶

That’s a winner! ♥️⚾️🏟️

If anyone needs a variegated lima bean starter, I have dozens of volunteers in the garden.

Cards win!!!

Opening day! ⚾️♥️

Ted’s Frostop appreciation post ♥️

Just a note that Sen Cassidy’s office is taking calls and noting parish of callers if you want to complain about Iran, SAVE act, DHS funding or literally any other damn thing being screwed up right now. It takes 5 min! (202) 224-5824

I could really eat a hot sausage poboy today.

Anyone else have a eucalyptus tree in their neighborhood?

Dinner tonight was homemade Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supremes ™️ and we were not disappointed.

The lights are out at Claiborne and Napoleon, as well as at Esplanade and Broad. Good luck everyone

I cannot get enough coffee in my body this morning.

#nolatwitter who has a termite contract with somebody you like? Looking to make a switch from Terminix. .

I messed up and ordered these 4 seed packets. There is no way I am suddenly gonna become a gardener in my old age and grow squash in my front yard (I dunno what I was thinking). If anyone wants these, speak up. Available for pick up or drop off or mailing.

Good vibes to Nellie, who’s getting her dental today.

Today from 2 to 4 on Wwoz.org my son will be spinning on his show Blues Eclectic, all female blues singers in honor of Women's Month, because he was raised right.😍 You can live stream from their website. Go get you some.🎶🎶🎶🎶

I love how he thinks and sees life.

Taking advantage of an unseasonably cool day to run my oven. Already made: -Chicken Parmesan -banana nut bread -peanut butter cookies -meatloaf -manicotti

So many car problems this past week. One declared officially dead and sent to the junkyard and the other one is currently getting repaired in the driveway. Hope it goes well for my husband. Did not see this coming 😢

Birthday lunch for the 22yo at Origen Cafe followed by Doberge cake from Swiss Confectionery. 10/10 day including the weather 🎂☀️

While we’re worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CA… Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.

I thought I was over the trash charge increase post Ida. Still so annoyed at how this went down then…and now this new narrative?! Y’all are acting like we are stupid.

I need a recommendation for a reliable mechanic in BR that does transmission work on a Ford Escape. TIA #nolasky

One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.

What is it with people who can’t admit they got something wrong? Y’all are annoying.
