On Thursday, Mayor Mitch called on New Orleans to say "Enough is enough" to violence in the wake of Sunday's horrific Mother's Day second line shooting. But we know that for locals, it's also about what we do in response to tough times that counts. As ever, citizens aren't letting the violence stop them from rolling up their sleeves and dancing in the streets at three events over the next few weeks.

All morning, make groceries at the Riverbend at this week's Uptown Farmers Market. Later on, see a free film screening from DJ Soul Sister, or brush up on your city's history at Octavia Books. On this day in 1803, The Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed. Now, more to do this Tuesday.

The Pfister Sister and local pianist discuss how the death of Steve Earle's character mimics life at the time.

June 13, when Martin Luther married Katharina von Bora against the Roman Catholic Church's celibacy rule (1525), when Rhode Island became the first colony to ban the importation of slaves (1774), when the first sodium vapor lamps were installed (1933), when the Supreme Court ruled that criminal suspects first and foremost had to be informed of their constitutional rights, in the Miranda vs. Arizona decision (1966), when Christo (1935), Steve-O (1974), and the Olsen Twins (1986) were born, and when King of Swing Benny Goodman died (1986). Today, either get down with a ‘Full House’ marathon at home, or go out and do this:
