Coming to the New Orleans 7th Ward two months after Katrina, I was immediately indoctrinated into the Creole history and culture. I first heard of this publication from reading "Creole New Orleans Race and Americanization", which documents the papers influence during the Civl War and Reconstruction years. Today, the The Trib helps me to stay current with the Creole movers and shakers of New Orleans, through it's feature stories and editorials.

Imagine how much the folks who work at Disney really hate their jobs.

So the Quarter Rat is the service industry rag for those who work in the French Quarter. And much like the Disney employee who deals with adorable kids, these folks deal with drunken, perverted adults who are trying to re-live their days in the fraternity/sorority. To get an idea of how much they hate their jobs, and why, this is what you must read. Its as bizarre as a Mad Magazine, but a commentary on humanity. The accounts of employees are hilarious, extremely politically incorrect, and often disgusting, a must read for anyone venturing into the FQ or wondering what Rome was like, just before it fell.

On January 20, decent, loyal Americans lost control of our country to the Russians and a handful of…read morehomegrown oligarchs, but maybe we'll make it through the darkness; the good guys won Super Bowl LIX, and New Orleans' Mardi Gras went off (mostly) without a hitch. How do I know that Mardi Gras was a success? I followed the celebration on WWOZ, New Orleans' "Guardian of the Groove." Throughout the 2025 Carnival season, as I have in past years, I listened to live performances and music played from WWOZ's vast archive, and viewed video and photos from the city's parades and other celebrations. And I'm able to enjoy the New Orleans vibe year round, because, since 1980, WWOZ has hosted and presented the city's music, from classic to current, and the station streams its daily programming on its website, providing the world a handy connection to the place. And wwoz.org hosts a two-week archive of shows, calendars of musical and other community events, and its Flickr archive of photos from Jazz Fest, the Satchmo SummerFest, and more. How valuable is WWOZ? In their book, "Up From the Cradle of Jazz: New Orleans Music Since World War II", authors Jason Berry, Jonathan Foose and Tad Jones refer to the station as "...a kaleidoscope of voices, rich in oral imagery -- jazzmen, composers, Cajun fiddlers, parades, grand marshals, gospel artists and R&B bluesmen, writers, occasional filmmakers, historians, Mardi Gras Indians, fathers and sons and mothers and daughters of musical families." WWOZ, they say, provides "...intimacy between the musicians and listeners, immeasurably broadening the sense of place." If you miss New Orleans, or you've never been, and wonder what you're missing about the place, tune in WWOZ. And don't forget to make a donation; listener support keeps the bon temps rolling!

Pel Hughes has always offered insanely prompt (esp for Nola) and old-school polite service for printing. They do beautiful brochures, and they've always been just as attentive to my small-run requests as for the massive jobs they run (which I know because I was invited into the printing room the first time I visited them, and I was like, "Oh, well it's nice to know that such competent and polite people are behind direct mailing advertizing... I think). A digression. Anyway, I've never had anything but good from these people, so who knows? .
