Yet the power is out in the lower coast of Algiers!

Hello Nola!

So I received 2 parking tickets: one for 10 feet from and intersection, and another for an expired plate.

However, the plate number listed is the last 6 of my VIN, not my actual plate. Either way I was going to pay them just to not deal with the headache. However, when I went to look them up on the online site, there were 2 other tickets (past due now) that genuinely were never on my dash. At any point. Which means I went from owing 70 to over 200.

When I search my actual plate, no tickets come up. Are these tickets actually attached to my vehicle, or should I not worry about them?

Thanks in advance my friends.

From Lafourche and coming to Gretna Fest for the first time. What’s the parking situation like and do you have advice/suggestions? I’m aware of the on-site garage and the buses from Oakwood/Manhattan. Besides the ferry, are those the only options?

for context i parked too close to a fire hydrant on my college campus (4ft away) and got my first parking ticket 😭 was wondering how to waive it or get it lowered

heard that people used their exams as an excuse? i technically had an exam that day but it was wayyyyyy later that day. don’t know if they would care or check

also heard from friends and ppl that got tickets their first time that they were able to strike a deal to get it waved if they didn’t commit a traffic violation in the next 6 weeks or months

and ideas? 🤷‍♂️

Looking to collab with vocalists and musicians of all kind. What kind of music ya’ll into making?

A lady in my quilt guild is going to North Carolina next week. Not to the hardest hit area. We're gathering fabric/thread/supplies etc for her to bring. She's contacting quilt guilds up there.

I know it's not an immediate need but at the end of the day, after you've been cleaning, working, helping, you need to destress. That's how a lot of us relax. And supplies will be short up there.

If you have scraps/fabric/supplies you're not too attached to and would like to help, I'm putting together a tote bin for her to take. Please message me if you're interested. She's leaving next weekend so I'm bringing her what I have on Sunday.

Okay my 504 friends, I’m looking for a cozy spot to read, listen to the rain, and enjoy a nice happy hour. Think something like the Columns but not because they are lame and don’t do a Friday happy hour.

Plus if there are plant friends around.

Thank ya!

I’ve been playing these video games called inFAMOUS 2/Festival of Blood DLC (2011), Mafia 3 (2016) and the watched the tv show called True Detective Season 1 (2014). What I noticed was that these works of fiction take place in New Orleans and theirs stories center around cults & mysticism. Does New Orleans have a real world history with cults and mystics.

!One ticket left! I got 3 tickets to see them tonight at the fillmore 7pm pm if you want them for free!

I came across this story: https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-helene-emergency-warnings-94a5762dc540dc79bb89cf33d358dc30

About how residents didn’t think the results of the storm could be so catastrophic despite the warnings, and the regret they feel.

I was a kid when Katrina hit. We left, all of us cramped in a car and sleeping in it at a rest stop with other families because hotels everywhere were full, my mom went into massive debt while paying for expenses while we were evacuated. We’ve left the state for Gustav and Ida, gone somewhere a little more north like Monroe for Issac, and stayed home for others. Sure some of us have hurricane parties and most are typically level headed about preparing for a storm, but hearing a hurricane was coming was ALWAYS a serious and stressful thing to me growing up because of the memories I have of seeing the city, my neighborhood and neighbors in what I remember to be a scary state following Katrina. Immediate members of my family lost everything, our home had significant damage, and media coverage of the darkest moments are scarred in my brain. When we did stay, I had anxiety, imagining what if this tropical storm/hurricane is like Katrina, is my mom or grandparents strong enough to break through the roof of the attic or will we drown?

My mom told me more recently, that prior to Katrina, evacuation warnings weren’t taken super seriously because a “Katrina-like” event just hadn’t occurred yet. She said the news always used scary terms, but nothing “bad” ever happened. So when people were given evacuation warnings, she said many just assumed it was going to play out the same way it always had, some scary winds, probably roof damage, maybe a tree falls and damages your house (one time we stayed and a tree did fall on the living room, breaking the wall while we were in it and that shit was SCARY- but it’s not the type of trauma of being abandoned on a roof, nearly drowning in your own home, or seeing bodies in flood waters type of scary). She believes that (outside of the people who didn’t have the means to) a lot of people who could’ve evacuated, didn’t just because they didn’t know any better, and that she thinks more people take the warnings seriously today.

I wanted to know everyone else’s opinions on it? There’s a quote from the news story I think I agree with: “There was some sort of disconnect,” said Murrell, who now regrets riding out the storm at home with his wife, two children and dog, even though they are all safe. “It’s human nature to not truly comprehend something until you’ve felt it yourself”

TLDR: did you take evacuation warnings more seriously after Katrina?

Hello!

I just moved here for work and it's my first week! I see ads for this event at the Audubon Aquarium - can anyone tell me if it's any good?

I can definitely look at fish solo, not too worried about that. How's the food and drink? What's the vibe?

Nice to see an active city subreddit! I come from another city with one and it's great to see the going ons!

Looking for a makeup artist to create Halloween eye looks for brunch. Group of 5-6.

Has anyone thought about going to help in North Carolina? It's been heavy on my heart and wondering if anyone else has been thinking about it. My funds are low but my hands are working 💪..

Anyone know what was filming on the walking/bike path this morning (10/4) around 5:30 AM?

I guess she's now the mascot of the Claiborne construction crew.

Very unsanitary and the people who works boh cross contaminate all day long

So Landry wants to lower the state income tax to make it a 3% tax across the board but have a higher exemption so it'll lead to lower income taxes for everybody if they're to believed (with the caveat that upper earners will get a bigger percentage cut). I've been dead set against the whole push for no state income tax because I think it's regressive since it has to be replaced by sales tax and things like that. But many of the states with no income tax - Texas, Tennessee, Florida- are leading the country in growth while we're shrinking as a state. I know that the overall tax burden in Louisiana at least by some accounts is lower than it is in Texas but I think the no state income tax is a big selling point for people who don't look into it further. One thing that was pointed out to me is that if you're in the upper income levels the income tax can have a large effect on your personal finances (esp. when compared to CA income tax rates) and it's those people in the upper income levels who are making the decisions to move companies to Texas or Tennessee or whatever. So the idea is kind of make it cheaper for them and they make more jobs for everybody else. I've never really liked any of those top-down/trickle down arguments so I'd love to have somebody refute that. I figured r/NewOrleans would be a good place to find counter arguments/other explanations for why those states are financially successful. Like I know there are already industry clusters like oil in Texas that kind of form a cycle of more and more oil companies moving to Texas but just on an income tax level argument or general tax environments I'd like to hear arguments for and against.

Hey, am I the only one bothered by this sign? I know people shouldn’t except a lot from their work place in the US but the way it’s written is giving modern days slavery and put your rights where I think.. my European mind is not getting use to that lmao. Someone tells me they get paid more at least …

A tie would give us the best chance in the division.
