New Orleans couple ties the knot in a potholeβ€”with plenty of love and laughs Kevin Nguyen and Monica Resh cemented their love on Valentine’s Day in a heart-shaped hole, which has been slowly sinking into Felicity Street for more than a decade

"We stand here, quite literally on β€˜hole-y’ ground"

Kevin Nguyen and Monica Resh won a free wedding ceremony through Look At This F$#@in' Street... the one catch: they had to get married in a New Orleans pothole!

The Chiefs may have lost a Super Bowl, but nobody in New Orleans had a worse work day yesterday than the people who had to chisel that crusty purple rug off of Bourbon Street.

Not a sports story, but as a son of the greatest city in the world, the pre-game performances were a display of the city that raised me and that continues to shine when put on the spot. πŸ‘‡πŸΎ www.louisianasports.net/new-orleans-...

Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban-or-sale law Donald Trump had asked the Supreme Court to delay TikTok’s ban-or-sale law to give him an opportunity to act once he returns to the White House.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to block a federal law that would effectively ban TikTok in the United States as early as this weekend if the wildly popular video-sharing app does not divest from Chinese ownership.

Look it's hard to not get excited if you're a snow lover. A lot of data shows snow next Tuesday, but use caution. Yes the chance has increased for a winter storm, but the storm system is still days away and models will likely adjust some. There is a fine line between snow, ice,rain.

You shouldn’t, even the local mets say they won’t be sure on the models until this weekend!

No coats in car seat: what’s safe for baby? On the left is a baby in a puffy coat in a car seat. The caption reads: puffy material, loose fitting harness, incorrect. The right side is a baby in a fleece with a blanket on. The caption reads: lightweight fleece with a blanker, snug-fitting harness, correct.

A reminder for my fellow Louisiana parents, as it’s about to get uncharacteristically cold out there…
no coats in the car seat!

A thin fleece and blankets are the safest option.

37-second rampage: A detailed timeline of Bourbon Street suspect's movements leading to attack WWL Louisiana combed through video and photos to create a more complete timeline of Jabbar’s attack planning.

The terror attack on Bourbon Street killed 14 people in just 37 seconds. But the suspect had bigger, far more horrible plans.

We pieced together a minute-by-minute timeline of his movements leading up to the attack in New Orleans.

Another reporter asked about confidence that suspect didn't act alone.Landry replied, "why would I tell you that."
