Staring down the barrel of a shotgun was no moment of panic for a man in the Marigny early Saturday morning. Just after 5 a.m., an armed robber approached as he walked in the 1900 block of Burgundy Street. The robber, who was carrying a shotgun, held the gun up to the man's face and demanded his wallet. The man, in turn, demanded the gun, and quickly grabbed the weapon from the crook. Click through to view video of the man's deft moves.

Live music was silenced at Mimi's in the Marigny Friday because of a lawsuit filed last week against the bar by neighbors. Civil District Court Judge Michael Bagneris ordered the Franklin St. spot to cease live music and entertainment. In the lawsuit, a group of neighbors of the bar claim that live music and dance parties like DJ Soul Sister's Saturday Night Hustle is not permitted at the bar because it lacks a permit for live music.

DJ Soul Sister's weekly Hustle party won't be moving the second floor of Mimi's in the Marigny Saturday night, and live music and entertainment is once again apparently on "temporary hiatus" at the Franklin St. bar. Word of the second silencing in less than a year came down Friday night from Soul Sister, who spins rare groove on Saturdays at the bar during her nearly 9-year-old weekly gig.

Robert Fresh Market cleared a major hurdle recently in their effort to bring back a shuttered, Katrina-battered grocery store location in the Marigny. Last week, Robert assumed sole ownership of the property near the corner of Elysian Fields Ave. and St. Claude Ave., according to a statement released Wednesday. The move clears the way for Robert to begin the  planning process to bring the store back online, but it remains uncertain when the store would reopen.
