A 'More Robust' Read OutOn The Phrase That's Sweeping New Orleans Perhaps it was there along. After all, we've read enough wine bottles in this town to be very familiar with most common flowery descriptors. The day before it really hit us, we listened to the essence of this phrase at the mayor's State of the City, and the word just floated right on by. 'Hospitality Zone' Bills to Get Local Airing Monday Since the current state legislative session began, one issue has been threatening to boil up to the surface around here. No, we're not jealous that the pirogue was selected as the official state boat over the Natchez. There's a new special taxing district the City wants to create around the French Quarter, CBD, Treme and the 7th Ward known as the Hospitality and Entertainment District. It's designed to tax meals and hotel rooms to raise money for improvements to areas that tourists use. But as the bills are in the committee phase of the legislative process, some locals are saying they didn't get a fair hearing.
