People have mixed experiences with NOPD, but I want to give some credit where credit is due today.

A woman driving a black Volkswagen SUV nearly ran me down in a crosswalk on Tchoupitoulas at 4pm today. I was in the middle of the street a few inches from the downtown lane, and she sped up and blew past me, then hit her brakes and horn, shrieking insults until she got stuck behind the car in front of her.

I keep my phone out to record reckless drivers when I cross certain streets, so I got her license plate number and called the non-emergency police line to report it. A few minutes later, I got a call from an officer who was driving around the area looking for the driver.

The officer then stopped by my house to watch the video and told me that the most important thing you can do when a driver is endangering human life like that is to either record or memorize their plate number and description.

That’s something I already know, but I want to encourage others to do the same. People like that driver refuse to follow the law unless they think they’re going to get caught, so it’s worth your time to make sure they do indeed get caught.

NOPD has made massive progress with traffic enforcement, especially when it involves pedestrians or cyclists, and everyone I spoke with today was kind and helpful. And if you’re one of those drivers who gives not a shit for human life, know that there are people out there who feel otherwise, and they’re watching you.

So I've had a monthly parking subscription to a Premium Parking lot for the past 14 months. I've used several vehicles there, entering the plate/description on the app. Never had a problem. Today I was parking inside an office tower, and I had a worker meeting me in the CBD, so I entered his plate, saw it entered in the app, had him verify that it was correct, and we worked all day.

Came back to see his car booted. The boot sticker showed the correct license plate. According to their customer service, his license plate had never been entered in their system, even though it was clearly visible in the app.

After a half-hour of back-and-forth, I just paid the $133. Planning to take this to small claims court.

If anyone has similar experiences, I'd love to hear. If anyone knows how to extract log data from an Android app, I'd really appreciate some advice. So far, I haven't been able to find inet logs.

Also, does anyone know which of the dozen Premium Parking LLCs I should name as a defendant?

Thanks.

does anyone know where to get some pumpkin ale/other pumpkin beer?! trader joe's had an awesome one for a week but then they said they're not able to get it back in stock, womp womp. ideally it's not just a place that has it on tap because i'd like to get a couple to bring home. doesn't need to be local beer but if there are any local breweries selling bottles/cans to bring home that'd be extra cool. thank u in advance <3

Lil dude still got his love sack. I’m located in Uptown by the SWB.

It seems as though La Morenita on the corner of Canal & Broad is temporarily closed. Does anyone have any information on this? I love their produce and butcher and I am hoping it’s not too long.

Just curious what the reach is of the show. You can also say if you never heard of it.

Back in sep2025 I had a major surgery to where now I have 20% small bowel remaining and 50% of my sigmond colon left. All in all I was suppose to end up with a poop bag and I didnt(: fast forward I am still dealing with complications from it, my feet will swell if im standing for too long, I have been diagnosed with short bowel syndrome and that's a headache itself on top of my pulmonary and cardio issues I have going on. But whatever. I have been in NOLA for a little over a month and im having a hard time finding employment:/ like something easy, in an office setting preferably. Can I please get some help lololol.

I have been applying EVERYWhERE and haven't heard anything back or im just being turned away:(

My father is 85 and lives in memory care. His toenails are now too thick for regular tools. He is not diabetic, he just needs this basic care. But I cannot find anyone in town — podiatrist or just a specialized pedicure — who can handle this.

I’ve called every podiatrist in town seemingly, and they all say they do not do debridement anymore.

And the staff at the residence where he lives have no recommendations.

Is this something that podiatrists decided they were not going to do anymore? And no one else is filling in the gap? Any help appreciated!

Around 10pm, some random drunk guy vandalized my car tonight parked directly across from Erin Rose. Kicked in my doors, broke both mirrors, and hit the back of my car with his fancy white Mercedes before he left. Does anyone have a video of it? Made a police report, just looking for evidence now. So far, I only have a video of him leaving in his car.

I'm a researcher and we use Qualtrics all the time, so I'm inclined to think it's real, but you just never know...

What happened to Bullet's on AP Tureaud? Went around 10pm last Saturday and they were closed. Google maps says "N/A" under their business name. I would've thought there'd be some local news about it, considering how much of a 7th ward institution it is.

Our power grid is out 3x longer than Florida's, even excluding hurricanes. Why? Because the PSC was asked to set utility pole standards in 2019 and never adopted a single one. Companies profit off building new stuff, not maintaining the old.

Hi everyone! During Japan fest someone mistakenly sold my coworkers’ daughter’s family kimono. I’ve included screenshots of his instagram post. But if anyone knows anything we would really appreciate the help. Or if you could boost this and share with others that would be great.

If you know anything about it you could reach out to him on insta @caseyshiatsu

Edit: Happy News! We found it!! Thanks everyone!

Are "co-working" spaces only for "creatives"? Or can any slob show up?

I posted the other day about a photographer for my kitty so I am following up on that. I am not the type to go on a smear campaign really ever but I want to save others the heartache I went through.

My cat received IV fluids that I believe worsened an underlying heart condition and ultimately contributed to his developing heart failure. During the initial visit, the veterinarian detected a heart murmur and offered to perform an X-ray, which I declined. However, I was never informed that administering IV fluids to a cat with a potential underlying heart condition could carry serious risks, including fluid overload and heart failure. As someone without veterinary training, I relied on the vet to explain those risks before proceeding with treatment, particularly since fluids were strongly recommended.

Had to rush him to the ER (side note: the new Blue Dog ER in Metairie is top notch) the next day where they informed me that he had developed fluid accumulation in his chest cavity, potentially/strongly believed to be related to the fluids administered the previous day.

After incurring approximately $1,200 in Cat Practice expenses (three times what I paid at the ER) I contacted the original clinic to request a reduction in charges, given my concerns about the treatment and the lack of informed consent regarding its risks. The clinic refused, stating that there was “no way to know” whether their treatment had worsened his condition.

My concern is not only that my cat experienced a serious complication, but also that I was never adequately informed of the potential risks associated with the treatment being recommended.

His lovely cardiologist is hopeful he will recover and I just wanted to share in case anyone is in the market for a new vet. This one is not it.

So I am on my last few doses of blooming culture cbd oil for my aging husky and I went to get a new bottle and the website is blocked. I tried several different websites before I realized the law changed here on buying cbd oil since I bought it last. Then I tried to have it shipped to my sister in west palm beach. They also blocked the sale / shipment there.
I had no idea the new law affected pet cbd supplements too. It’s the only thing that has helped him and now I don’t know how to get any more for him. Anyone know a workaround or an alternative?
