Elvis has left the building.

by MonkeyBoy August 16, 2010

I hope I didn’t bore you too much with my life story. That’s a quote from Elvis Presley. Elvis died on this day in 1977. I admit, my knowledge of Elvis isn’t all that extensive. In fact most of what I know of Elvis I’ve learned in the last few year. See, for the last [...]

by NOLAmotion October 27, 2009

This is my first post here at Humid City. So I guess a little introduction is in order. Like Loki and many others, I’ve been blogging since before the coining of the word. While at the now-functionally defunct Louisiana Music Commission, I began a news page (blog) in August 1997. Since then I’ve maintained a [...]

Some of my picks from snopes.com re:NOLA True Did New Orleans’ mayor turn down a $5 million to remove cars wrecked by Hurricane Katrina? Did ‘The Price Is Right’ air an episode offering a trip to New Orleans as a prize? Did a National Geographic article fortell the flood that devastated New Orleans? Did Barbara [...]

Bronze Plated Bullshit – Stealing New Orleans

by alexis stahl January 1, 2007

In New Orleans, times are lean, people are rebuilding and we are extremely sentimental about anything intrinsically New Orleans. The theft of water meter covers, streetsigns and sidewalk tiles, and fleur de lis anything, has been a problem. We have dealt with this before. Thieving of architectural ornaments, grave statuary and wrought iron work are [...]

Silent NOLA Night

by Loki December 25, 2006

Silent Night Silent night, no gunfights, All is calm, ‘till Twelfth Night Round the city debris still is piled. Our politicians still should be reviled, Christmas will come anyway. Christmas will come anyway. Silent night, times are tight, Neighbors still living in the blight, Friends are scattered both here and afar, Nagin gave us a [...]

Next Verse, Same As The First

by Loki December 22, 2006

Rains Flood New Orleans Streets – washingtonpost.com “Unbelievable,” said Pamela Borne, who waded in knee-high water with her daughter on her back to get to her house. “It’s very disappointing, that just with an overnight rain of this magnitude, that the city is so ill-prepared.” Joy of water. Lex got trapped at Tulane and I [...]

Lafayette, I Have Returned!

by Loki December 9, 2006

From the Third World Country of New Orleans to the Third World Country of Dominica and back, the last week or so has been amazing. There are so many parallels and yet so many opposites. You will see poverty there, a few buildings that reminded me of the flood zone, and a seeming distrust of [...]

Happy Turkeycaust

by Loki November 23, 2006

While many lie prone and wrapped in the cottony tentacles of a tryptophan coma I would like to take a moment and comment on the Thanks Du Jour. I am thankful for some of the encroachments the surrounding ecosytem has made upon the city. I personally love seeing redtail hawks nesting in the city for [...]

Danger Will Robinson!

by Loki November 19, 2006

Ever notice that everything has a warning label on it? The mop bucket with the graphic on the side saying “don’t drown the baby in the mop water,” is a commonplace example. Well it continues, ad absurdum, on into the blast zone of NewOrleans. Tim brings us this wonderful catalogue of idiocy from within the [...]

Gmail is down again. This time for the past two days. If it’s on their end they owe their users some form of update on what the situation is. (Don’t tell me its BETA, its been on the net since well before Katrina and its an ad driven service.) It could also be the side [...]

Do it, By Deuce!

by Loki October 12, 2006

Buried busy with wedding prep and my new business. Should get the post-Bloomington-post up this weekend with some luck. In the meantime I would view it as a personal favor if you followed the Mermaid’s suggestion below. Children’s Hospital is a cause near and dear to my heart, without them I would be in a [...]

Tasty Bread, Good Circus

by Loki September 28, 2006

While the Saints game is undeniably bread and circuses, garnering attentiion and participation in far greater quantity that things like housing or elections, it still has its good sides. For the first time (yes, first time, I am NOT a sports fan of any stripe) I watched the Saints pound Atlanta into the ground the [...]
