Decadence Economics


Amidst the talk of Tropical Storm Lee, the Hurricane that is Southern Decadence has come to town. While the talk is often of parades, whistles, and drag queens. Decadence is incredibly significant as an economic driver. In the current year alone, Decadence is projected to infuse $150 million into the New Orleans economy. Hotels, restaurants, and bars are certain beneficiaries, but many other merchants are scrambling for the lot in some unusual ways.


Second Line Planned for French Quarter's Slewfoot


No matter how many tourists, segways and celebs pop and buzz through the French Quarters, there will seemingly always be the rambling chracters that keep the place rough around the edges. The Quarter lost one of those individuals April 11, as Mark "Mickey" "Slewfoot" McLaughlin passed on. Today, over at WWOZ, Fr. Bill Terry of St. Anna's Episcopal Church penned a remembrance of the street musician, who was notable for his cowboy hat, bandana and ramshackle 1980s station wagon. A funeral at St. Anna's and second line to Frenchmen St. are planned for Wednesday, April 27.
