Comment Moderation at CityBusiness
Mr. Larose, I recently linked to an article on your publication’s Web site on my blog, thechicory.com. The article had the headline, “City faces decision in ongoing battle over Jackson Square artists.” The link to the post is here: http://thechicory.com/blog/?p=1688 The post is about a perceived bias in the article.

Po Boys and Baby Boos
Out on Jackson Square, every artist is a CFO for their little business. The demand is there, ready and willing. The artists’ responsibility is to provide it with the supply.

…The Fuck?
What intern was left in charge overnight at Nola.com? Who made the decision to put a damn frog in a Hawaiian shirt wearing sunglasses on the front page of the paper Web site? Is the weather the main story in New Orleans this morning? Who drew that fucking thing? Was it the same person who…
