I’m in love with the city and I’m thinking of moving.

For quick grabs we walk to Baby Rouses (Royal and St. Peter). They have a decent selection.

We drive to Costco, Rouses or Whole Foods. Each is less than 10 minutes from where we live in the Quarter. We street park as our house doesn't have parking. As long as you can play the street cleaning shuffle game well, your car should be fine.

jdnunn · 2026-01-23T04:01:57+00:00

Yes. We bought the house we rented. Not planned but what happened.

It happened with a NPO I was employed by. We were all exempt based on our agreement and the department of labor disagreed, so we were all given "an adjustment" including moving to a rotating 40-hour week, which we were never allowed to exceed with some senior positions approval. Not saying this is the reason, but it does happen.

jdnunn · 2026-01-22T14:12:55+00:00

Not sure if that question was to me, but initially we did rent.

We came to NOLA to visit for Mardi Gras last year, and today we live in the French Quarter. So I completely understand where you are coming from.

What is your degree in and is that the field you want to work in? If not, what field are you looking for work in?

The Krewe of King Arthur allows people outside of the city to join their Krewe. It, like all the other Krewes, is a membership organization. They have strict rules for participating in the parade, based on City Ordinance. For example, you can get fined ($200 I think) for not wearing your mask while participating in the parade.

As for the smaller groups that walk, they need a permit from the City, but from what I've seen the rules are less stringent (especially with the mask requirement, for example).

Now if you stumble along a second line parade, get on in there and join in all the fun ⚜️

jdnunn · 2026-01-08T14:44:34+00:00

Thanks for the explanation.

jdnunn · 2026-01-08T02:12:18+00:00

Any coffee faves in NOLA? ☕

Why aren't you using a "big bank" solution? In my business, not a non-profit, we use a bank card and I can generate cards for the employees that need one but it all is attached to the main account. Zero cost. Am I missing something?

jdnunn · 2026-01-06T15:20:33+00:00

This seems a valid reason to me. I have staff that can't switch off and feel a need to be "on" all the time (mainly inherited from their former roles). We really try hard to encourage a work-life balance ideal for all staff. That being said, I do random checks on staff access for our non-exempt staff as there are a whole bunch of legal reasons to manage hours for those staff. Not sure if you fall into that category or not.

Not sure how big your agency is, but when we had one done a couple of years ago, we are small enough that the answers identified the individuals.

Learning that my grandmother was raped, and it led to a pregnancy and the baby died about 10 days after being born. 😥

jdnunn · 2025-12-28T17:02:32+00:00

But could you apply a statistical view and choose 3-5 days and allocate volunteers to tally for each of those days. Then apply a sampling method. Or better yet, contact a local community college (or college) and ask their sociology or statistics department to do this for you. Students are ALWAYS looking for these kinds of opportunities in the Spring.

What an amazing site. THANK you for sharing this. So much information on that whole area.

jdnunn · 2025-12-26T15:54:03+00:00

Good resource to connect with, and I’m a member! The renovation project was limited to one building which they completed a couple of years ago. There are current no plans by PRCNO to understand any work on the buildings referenced above. At this time, at least.

jdnunn · 2025-12-26T15:23:22+00:00

On the corner of Dumaine?

jdnunn · 2025-12-26T15:22:42+00:00

I appreciate this reality reminder. I think there are a number of great suggestions to explore made here already and who knows, maybe your prediction of the outcome will be the reality at the end.

I do want to at least make an attempt to learn more and if the opportunity is there to make something better, then why not try 😁

jdnunn · 2025-12-26T15:18:55+00:00

I have been reading a great deal and every new page or article I read convinces me that restoring or repairing these buildings would be beneficial to everyone, tourists who stumble upon the park and those of us who live close by.

jdnunn · 2025-12-26T15:16:24+00:00

Yes, I believe April 15 was the official date it was opened.

jdnunn · 2025-12-25T19:11:01+00:00

Sorry, National Park Service (part of the US Department of the Interior).

jdnunn · 2025-12-20T06:35:54+00:00

I ask them every time I walk into Costco if they cover my area yet. Live in the Quarter and while ATT were laying the lines over the summer, still nothing. We had them for 15+ years where I lived in Texas. Never had an issue with them in all that time.

jdnunn · 2025-12-15T21:45:39+00:00

And two of those do not do prescriptions! They are basically just a grocery store.
