Banging at 9:38

Hey all, over on the westbank in the Algiers area im hearing repeated very loud banging. It sounds like it's coming from the direction of the river. At first I thought it was gunshots but I don't think it is anymore. It's been going on about 5 minutes.

Finally enough cold days in a row

We finally have more than a few cold days in a row to break out the pot and make me some of that good dish water soup. Granted I would make gumbo even if it's not cold out, but having the temp below 60 makes it taste even better

Propane Game?

Crawfish 🦞 boil. Propane 🔥 heater . Gas BBQ 💩Grill

WELL….. I don’t use propane to grill meat but I do use propane for other things. What’s the best propane game in town now that we can’t fry eggs on the sidewalk?

Uhaul? Blue Rhino? Hank Hill on the corner?

High Speed Chase N.O.

Shits popping in the East. Atleast 30-50 units patrolling out there looking for the runner.

Anyone Need a Software or IT? 15+ Years Experience.

Right now I make licensed video games through my own small company. Stuff like this. But I do prefer to couple it with work elsewhere. Especially around this time of year.

What I do is full-stack engineering with a focus on systems. So for example if it’s a retail environment I’m the person connecting your inventory to an app and a website.

I’m from the city but left for a while. Been back for a while too. Pretty broad experience outside of software as well (licensed tattoo artist, retail etc).

Feel free to give me a shout if ya know somebody in need. This is my resume.

Happy holidaze!

Woman thinks it's ok to litter, has kids in the car

Kia SUV with a license plate 390 GOX. I watched her dump trash out her window on 90 on 8/4. She got mad at me because I pointed it out by honking and embarrassed her, and she tried to get close to me, I believe to attempt throwing more trash this time at my car (to no avail lolll slowass) What a great example she's showing! There is never a legitimate reason to litter, I'm sorry. And, you're a piece of shit if you do it. You literally are a waste of space. I hope your kids learn not from your example.

SWBNO Temporary Fixed Rate Billing ?

It appears the powers that be accomplished something that might actually be helpful so I am mildly skeptical and have questions.

Anyone have any experience with the SWBNO Temporary billing offer?

My usual bill is ~$110 and their average estimate is ~$75 until I get a fancy Smart Meter installed. I have been burned by the "actual vs estimate" reading before. After they install the Smart Meter will they try to 'catchup' on the discrepancy?

Looking for sheets of stained glass for a project, anyone know where I can buy locally?

The same type of stained glass sheets as a person making a stained glass window pane would use. I'd prefer to buy somewhere in town, but open to online shops if you've got recs!

Play spaces along Lake Ponchartrain

To my knowledge, there used to be two spots along the lakefront where there were playgrounds. Before Covid, they were not kept up, but they have done a lot of renovation to the area and I’m surprised that they have not replaced a place area for children. Not to mention there are not many playgrounds with the exception of city Park that have swings, but I think the lake would be a great place for swing sets. Who would we need to contact to put in a request for such things?

Help on Research

Hello All!

I am currently a senior in college about to graduate in a couple of weeks. I am currently finishing up my last research paper and would love to get the input from the people of New Orleans as well as other costal communities. I am currently researching the perception of disaster preparedness. If you are able to take my survey it would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful. It is a brief survey so it should only take a couple of minutes. The survey is completely anonymous.

Thank you so much.

Hey you guys, can call help me help my friend find winter coats/clothes for her kids.

Hey so it's getting cold out here and my friend is having issues with buying the proper coats for her kids. They have thin jackets right now, any of you guys have some 7-8, 8-9 Years old jackets you need to get rid of . She has two girls. Do you know of any programs that give out free coats? I was going to grab her some after I get paid next week but this week seem like it will be a cold week and they have to go to school. Ps: if you have any clothes around those ages you need to get rid it will be greatly appreciated as well.

Nola.com has $12 for 1 year Black Friday special

I know lots of people complain about the paywall but I like having a paper so I don't mind paying for it. This is something like 90% off the normal price.

Saw 2-3 staties chasing a dirt bike up N Robertson yesterday evening. Appreciated their determination.

Later heard there was a shooting in the CBD/Quarters. Wondered if it was related.
