Please be advised that this review is for the Second District. Close enough to the first, they…read moreneed some props. Well, me and my dog were attacked and bitten by a dog in the hood. Once the medical needs were attended to, it was time for some paper trailing and documentation of this horrific event. The officer in charge was really great. Mr. Walvoord, who will probably insist that he was "only doing his job" came to our home to see the carnage that ensued. Asking questions, taking photos (sorry, I cannot print them here), and then going to see said animal himself, and almost getting bit, he offered sound advice and was genuinely concerned for me and my dogs well being. He stayed outside in his car for what seemed like hours writing up a report (for me, ASCPA, NOPD, and probably the insurance company who will probably be handling my claim). Instead of bothering me with last minute questions (really, no bother at all), he called on my phone, as he noticed i needed to rest. The non emergency operator was also quite pleasant as well. I really am quite happy with this leg of justice so far.

I've been a resident of Kenner all but 3 yrs of my life so I am familiar with how they operate…read more Kenner is one of only 3 cities in the state that does not offer the 2-yr inspection sticker (known locally as a brake tag). In 1960 our fair state started requiring every vehicle to get inspected for safety reasons. New Orleans, Westwego, and Kenner already had inspection requirements in place prior to 1960 so they were able to keep their programs intact without having to adopt the new 2-yr option that became available last yr. The Kenner inspection station is easy breezy. The staff are really friendly and they make the process easy. Just a quick inspection of your insurance, registration, and driver's license to make sure everything is current and then a really quick check that everything is working good on your vehicle. After that you pay the $10 fee and wham bam you got a new sticker and are good to go for another year. Tip: I drive by this place often and the only times that I see it busy is during lunch time as peeps use their lunch break to get this done. Come anytime before or after the typical noon lunch hour and you will be in and out in 5-10 mins.

There are three bridges that cross over from Slidell to New Orleans between Lake Pontchartrain and…read moreLake Borgne - the US-11 bridge is the northernmost, the I-10 bridge is the center https://www.yelp.com/biz/twin-span-bridge-slidell?hrid=BKUaYesbZgx7qJv8Z_QmkA and this one on US-90 is the southernmost. This bridge is quite old. It opened in 1929 and is a truss swing bridge with a total length of 1174 feet and 14.2 feet of clearance for trucks and tall vehicles. Despite that, it is the only bridge that remained open and was not closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The bridge is two lanes wide and there is no toll to cross it. On the west side of the bridge, you will find the abandoned Fort Macomb at the back of the marina. If you're feeling adventurous and willing to trespass, you may want to explore. I don't recommend it. [Review 14484 overall, 1810 of 2020, number 46 in Louisiana.]

Very unique monument to the immigrants that have come through New Orleans. One side of the two…read moresided sculpture shows a family and the other side shows the bow of a ship. The New Orleans Riverfront was the first place where generations of immigrants first stepped onto American soil. The image of a young family carved in Italian Carrara marble is so beautiful and so touching. The other side that looks like a ship faces the Mississippi River. It is a nod to the role that the river and the shipping industry plays in the past, present and future of New Orleans. A very unique Monument to the Immigrant.

This monument consists mainly of a sculpture and is located in a small plaza in Woldenberg Park…read more This is paid commercial parking lots in walking distance of the monument. It was dedicate din 1985 The monument is actual a two for one. On side of the sculpture, facing away from the river, depicts an immigrant family. The side facing the river has a stylized ship-shaped figure. The monument's inscription reads: "MONUMENT TO THE IMMIGRANT DEDICATED TO THE COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN WHO LEFT THEIR HOMELAND SEEKING FREEDOM, OPPORTUNITY AND A BETTER LIFE IN A NEW COUNTRY MARCH 19, 1995 COMMISSIONED BY THE ITALIAN AMERICAN MARCHING CLUB SPONSORED BY PRIVATE CITIZENS, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS." Italian immigrant ,Franco Alessandrini was commissioned by the Italian American Marching Club in New Orleans commissioned to create the sculpture. Alessandrini used actual photos of immigrants arriving and marble imported from Carrara, Italy to design the piece. It is an interesting monument. And I like how Alessandrini put 2 sculptures into 1. Sadly the monument has been vandalized. There are really some jerks out there. Hopefully it will be cleaned up soon. There are lots of attractions near this monument, so you should consider making a stop here part of a larger itinerary and pair it with a visit to the Cathedral, Jackson Square, the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and Spanish Plaza.

I was thrown out of so many DMV's it ain't funny anymore. I spend over a month and half running to…read moreOMV from Houma to Livingston to Chalmette try to finish up my CDL. Appointments weeks and sometimes months out, Nola DMV!! forget about it, finally Kenner tell me try Reserve DMV! Ok, never heard of them. 41 miles from home, rain storm, I made it. In Less than 3 minutes Ms. Shereda calls me over, I tell her my issue, she says: "Well, cause it's a CDL, you'll have to go to Houma were you started." I was about to cry lol. But she kept clicking away and printing stuff asked me a couple of questions, and I'm like a deer in the headlights, to scared to upset a DMV employee, and in my mind i was done, I'm going to Houma again. Untiiiiiil :" Would that be cash or card"? I was about to jump over the glass thingy and kiss that woman. Best service ever, they really cared and went out of their way to help a person. This really made my year after all the crap I went through. Thank you Shereda and thank you Reserve DMV.

Well, shiver me timbers!!!! The Pirate lost his passport, so it was off to the Honduran consulate…read morefor a replacement. An easy enough place to find located in the offices above the Shops on Canal. I don't know about you, but I was a little concerned about a language barrier. Honduras is a Spanish speaking country, however the Pirate is from the small island Of Utila(owned by Honduras). As I entered, it was beautifully decorated with oversized images of both the mainland and the island. A smallish waiting room, with a couple of dudes, who cautiously smiled at me. I approached the reception desk....and here she goes.....greeting me in Spanish.....I say Hola...one of about twenty of my Spanish words known, but then quickly blurt out "My husband is from Utila"..."ohhhhh, so you speak English"...Whew! The rest of our conversation was brief, she checked in her system for the Pirates name, told me to bring a money order and his birth certificate when he came back for application. It was fast and easy. There was also an easy to understand list of items and fees on a small sign.... It was waaaaaaay easier than when I went to go get my passport. I even returned a month later and picked up his passport for him. As an American, I thought it was odd that they would release it to me. Thank Godness I'm an honest gal.... And as the story goes....my husbands island is chock full of real descendants of a Pirates of long ago, with surnames like Morgan, Jackson, Cooper, Johnson, etc. Residents speak in a sing song calypso accent. Yep my Pirate is a Morgan, related to the Man....Pirate Morgan....hence his nickname The Pirate. Saltwater is in his blood and he carries his ancestors love for the sea by working on boats by trade. So whether you need a passport or plan to try your hand at swigging rum on the sands of the Bay Islands, the Honduran Consulate can surely help you out! Arrrrggggg!!!!!!
