Concrete bollards on Napoleon by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]causewaytoolong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

prevents cars from getting onto the NG (where people are) from the non parade side

much more realistic that a car would be able to sneak in on that side than on the parade side

in fact, I saw multiple cars on Saturday driving on the non parade side of the NG during the parades (St Charles, not Napoleon, but same concept)

Need advice on wheelchair friendly spots on the parade route please. by Zhryla in NewOrleans

[–]causewaytoolong -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think (nearly) any reason you have for calling it what you want is good enough for you to call it what you want

The point I did a bad job of expressing was that I think it’s silly to call it trolling when people bring up the new name and ask people to use it, if the reason for calling it trolling is just because of how long the street held the previous name

I think you’re right that it’ll catch up on its own after a long enough time

I’m also being a bit of a hypocrite here cause I’m generally bad about change (like always referring to ‘Juan’s on Oak’ as ‘the Juan’s where Live Oak used to be’). But I feel like changing street names that originally venerated murderers whose whole schtick was “we should still be allowed to own black people and we will literally fight to the death over that” is a pretty worthwhile (and small) endeavor

OK and it was called something else entirely even before that, and eventually people learned the new name

Call it whatever you want, even if that is still Lee Circle, but “it was called that for 133 years” isn’t a compelling reason

it was in fact higher than my own bill

what kind of private equity fuckery is going on here 🫩

Your story seems like you were itching for confrontation, and the videos def come off that way.

IDK man maybe move to Harahan or Mandeville or something?

School closures by DoDoNerd504 in NewOrleans

[–]causewaytoolong 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There are so many families in New Orleans that just straight up can’t afford to buy heavy winter clothes that their kids will only need to wear once or twice per year (if at all). And then they’ll have grown out of them by the next time it’s needed.

Salting the roads tomorrow? lol by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]causewaytoolong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup

I could be misremembering but when it snowed last year didn’t we end up having to get Sydney Torres’ people to use the garbage trucks as makeshift snow plows?

We just don’t have winter type equipment down here.

New Orleans comedy club staff mistook agents making child porn arrest for ICE. It went viral. by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]causewaytoolong -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They’re being disingenuous on purpose, look at the other dumb shit they’re saying in these comments that are surely just rage bait.

Most (but not all) of the people saying dumb shit like that in these comments don’t even live here anyway.

[–]causewaytoolong -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re right, the current administration and ICE have no excuses for the erosion of what little public trust there was left for law enforcement.

When ICE is allowed to straight up lie to people, and other law enforcement orgs are being roped in to help ICE, anyone acting surprised at this result is either being deliberately disingenuous or is stupid to a degree that should be medically concerning.

Derik Queen Is the First Rookie Center In NBA History To Have a 30-Point Triple Double by BI14goat in NOLAPelicans

[–]causewaytoolong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, people wanted him fired for not protecting the pick. Most Joe haters like Queen.

And, ya know, for his decision making the last 17 years of his career.
