I was trying to explain to my husband how Boston people are about Dunkin.

A blighted 2 story building with a missing balcony floor and door shutters falling off.

Wild scene on Decatur near Frenchmen with cops chasing some guy. Imagine--trouble on a block where this building sits. 🙄

Moving is stressful but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Like, walk around and look at all the out of state plates like Devon Snow did when he went to Frady's. 😂

Oh, FFS. That's so clueless it's almost funny.

Right--I can't order towels online. I was thinking I'd try JC Penney next. I went to At Home and Home Goods today.

I'm not normally one to be nostalgic about shopping, but I wish Bed Bath & Beyond was still around. I need new towels.

It's a pretty good walk for such an old dog. Glad she's still up for it. My new meds aren't fully on board yet--I'd have a hard time doing it at this point.

I got that one twice.

Mike took the dog out for an after dinner walk earlier. I dozed off for a few minutes. Woke up and was kind of thinking they'd been gone a while. "We walked to the Seahorse and had a drink."
Living his best life, that guy. 😂

Since I lived there so long, I can say Baton Rouge. 😂

Right? In most places "entertainment district" tends to mean the area that allows open containers.

Distraction isn't really the right word. I do agree that they're all just terrible in every way. But I do think there is some strategy to doing so many different terrible things all at once. They do it to overwhelm and make it harder to respond.

I have a sign by the front door that says that.

Couldn't stand to listen to him. Never knew him personally.

It's gross and yeah, not very surprising.

I met someone in Marigny tonight who said he called someone the N word before he started with the homophobia.
Not anyone I know, so grain of salt but the source apparently works at a restaurant in the neighborhood.

They do have a great breakfast and chatting with Ms. Annie was fun.

This is the second post I've seen that mentioned Amy Poehler.
Can someone sign her to do the biopic now?

I stayed at Creole Gardens for Mardi Gras in 2023. Nice little spot.

Macaroni Grill was pretty good. It's not there anymore.
I don't think BR is any worse than most similar-sized cities as far as chains. It's a big difference when you're used to New Orleans but what city isn't?

My husband uses a naked phone all the time. It's wild.
He also currently has a cracked screen. Just saying.
