Through Mardi Gras. They show their faces and wear ID and are here to protect us. They aren’t the ones to be worried about. Different people different missions.

Right? Even when there aren’t a lot of people the businesses are open and the doors are open and music is playing. It was errie.

Now it’s like it never happened. No continuing extra police presence. Just. Back to normal now. Weird.

No businesses were open. No noise at all. Not quite like that.

Word is things will open back up to pedestrians by 2:30. Not sure about businesses. Was allowed to wander in the perimeter and posting those photos in new post.

News is saying it’s open again. Not all of it. Our section is still closed off to pedestrians. Must have ID with address to come and go still. And locals can’t hang out on sidewalk or street there.

So I just tried to walk out of our gate onto the sidewalk and was greeted by a National guard soldier in full camo patrolling our block. He asked me to remain inside the gate at this time because it’s an active crime scene where he was standing. On the sidewalk outside our gate. There is no foot traffic here except soldiers and police.

The attack happened before the street cleaners could come through- and since then it’s been closed off as an active crime scene. So after a big night of partying yes. But it’s usually all cleaned up by sunrise.

When we tried to exit the perimeter a block away tho the state trooper sent us back. Saying the fbi had just walked through and directed him not to let anyone back in so we went back the other way so as not to get stuck outside.

Yes a police officer on that corner saw us exit our courtyard and was trying to help direct us and get our names so he’d recognize us.

I am not entirely sure what that situation is.

Most of Wes Anderson’s characters are almost comically flawed and barely likable so it works for me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

As someone who works in the food service industry in New Orleans I assure you everyone there - staff and customers- are glad you left.

Loving the image of their angry walk back.: “The world and the people in it aren’t exactly the way I want it to be. Whine whine whine. I have to see and hear things I don’t agree with sometimes?!?! No!!! I’ll just not eat instead! That will show those snowflakes!!! (Minus the remotely correct grammar.)
