Not going to Wednesday At The Square tonight? When else are you going to see a Grammy winner for free. Yea, yea, I know the acoustics are less-than-great. But it’s all about the community. Get up off yer crawfish-eating asses and go see Irma! Varg will be there. And when she finishes up, you’ll be…

‘And Then Amazingly…’
I had this dream last night that there were these heavy rains being forecast for the area which would raise the river to dangerous levels. Some neighbors and I must have been on top of the World Trade Center or something because I could see the flooding start to engulf houses building on the other…
Wait For It…The Race Card!
After reading Jarvis DeBerry’s recent editorial I have to say I agree with him on most points. Then he pulls out the race card out at slaps it on the table. I think it’s been forced into the ground that Ralph Lupin made a mistake and should feel embarrassed by his own actions. I myself…
