pbrewer+FollowWhy Does New Orleans Welcome Tourists but Not Protect Its Own People? New Orleans is magical — culture, food, music, warmth. But visiting made me question something nobody wants to talk about. Tourist areas are heavily policed, spotless, glowing. Seven blocks away, I saw entire neighborhoods with broken streetlights, abandoned houses, and kids walking home alone because buses don’t run reliably. A bartender told me, “The city keeps Bourbon Street shiny because that’s where the money is.” But shouldn’t a city take care of its residents with the same energy it uses to entertain outsiders? New Orleans is unforgettable — not just because of its beauty, but because of the question it forces you to ask: Who is the city really for? #Travel #NewOrleans #TourismPolitics369Share
Matthew Roberts+FollowPelicans beat the Mavericks 101–99 — and they did it without ZionThe Zion-less New Orleans Pelicans (now 2–6) stunned the Dallas Mavericks with a 101–99 win, handing the Mavs their third straight loss. What’s surprising is that New Orleans is finally starting to find rhythm without Zion Williamson, who’s been sidelined again with injury. #Pelicans #Mavs #NBA #ZionWilliamson #NewOrleans 230Share

Christopher Hughes+FollowBig shake-up coming for New Orleans high school football?Edna Karr’s powerhouse football team might be leaving the Catholic League, and that could totally change the face of high school sports in New Orleans.

Brandy Rodriguez+FollowMoses Moody Erupts for Career-Night and Leads Warriors Past PelicansMoses Moody stole the spotlight on Sunday night. Scoring a career-high 32 points, he buried eight 3-pointers, including a blistering 7-of-8 from deep in the first quarter, and powered the Golden State Warriors to a dominant 124-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Despite Stephen Curry being held to just 9 points on 2-of-11 shooting, the Warriors’ balanced attack — including 24 made threes and a spirited road win — showed depth and resilience. Moody’s eruption signals his arrival as a bona-fide scoring option, hopefully easing the burden on the veteran core. The Warriors’ ability to win with a quiet night from Curry speaks volumes about their team evolution and roster flexibility. The Pelicans, meanwhile, experienced a tough loss in their first game under interim coach James Borrego. #MosesMoody #Warriors #NBA #NewOrleans #Pelicans 30Share
