Here's the thing about the TP. Everyone loves to pick on it but then I go read papers in other…read morecities and I realize how lucky we are to have it. It has it's issues (get it, Ha!) but I think it is still solid. The online site (nola.com) is more likely to have typos and errors as they rush to get the news out, but most of these are corrected by the time they print.

I subscribe to the Morning Advocate e-Version and paper edition on Saturdays and Sundays. I have…read morenot received a paper edition in 3 weeks. When you call Customer Service (sic) you are told how valuable you are and wait for the next Customer Service - like clockwork, they cut you off at 6 minutes. I was certainly understanding for the first week as the Advocate absorbed the Times-Picayune, but now 3 weeks later? How can we actually contact them to let them know about our problem?

I first located this publication online in 2006 when I was documenting the Katrina experiences of…read morepriests from the New Orleans 7th Ward, and found and article on Fr. Michael Thompson from Corpus Christi Catholic Church. I also found a story on Fr. Dennis Hayes from St. Louise De Marillac in Arabi, LA. All in all, the Clarion Herald was very helpful to my research

I love N'AWLINS & all that she offers!!!!…read more Great that the GAMBIT has grown into the one publication that covers the GNO & with great proficiency. The Gambit covers restaurants, hotels, entertainment in the area, upcoming events & even manages to get a news story or two in. Loved that it's STILL in print. While I do love technology, still being a paper product, I am able to peruse sections, make circles & x's to help with decision making. Additionally, the Gambit is not just a resource for the locals, but also anyone visiting, because as stated, it covers all-things-NOLA. I also love the Gambit contests that are featured on the net & in print. Hello, let's talk about winning tickets to local events... Did you hear me say WIN?!?! As in FREE!!! Yesssssss!!!! The print version offers lots of nice ads, from whence I get many GREAT shopping/gift ideas. Ohhhhhhhh & I forgot to mention, the GAMBIT is printed frequently and is FREE!!!! Yesssss all that FOR FREE!!!!!! It can be found in your local coffee shop, bakery, newsstand and or local library; just to name a few places. Keep up the good work GAMBIT; see ya next edition.

Most major cities have their free weeklies these days, and often they are somehow affiliated with a…read morelarger publisher, resulting in a certain consistency in style, format and content. The Gambit has changed a lot from when I was in grad school but it still retains a lot of helpful information for out of town visitors that you aren't necessarily going to get from your Yelp application. Current schedules for clubs, articles about musicians and lists of restaurants - in much more of an "At A Glance" format which you can manipulate to your needs (ie, tear and fold, write upon, etc) - is always very useful. Tons of great information - if you're a visitor, make sure you pick up a copy of the Gambit and leave the other stacks of formulaic tourist brochures in the rack!

It's so great to almost have a alternative rock station in Nola!!! Love that they play 90's music!…read moreWish they played more actual alternative, rock and metal! Not just the soft wanna be alternative whinny bush, nickel back stuff!! Tool for example is still rocking it out making new millennial and generation z fans!! I do love love love that it's loads of music and hardly and talk and commercials!!!

As a general rule, I loathe the radio. This station, though, continues to surprise me. They…read moreactually play music. Often. In fact, the majority of the time, they seem to be playing actual music, rather than commercials (I hate hate hate radio commercials), or letting some DJ ramble on and on in a failed attempt at being funny. (I also hate most radio "personalities." They're annoying and most of what comes out of their mouth is, at best, inane, and at worst offensively stupid. But I digress.) So, yeah. A radio station that doesn't suck. Yay! I'm amazed those even still exist in this post-Pandora world. Thanks for playing music, Rock 92.3! Please keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it right. Or, at least, better than your peers. Rock on.

Edible New Orleans is a quarterly magazine (free around town) devoted to local foodways. It is…read moreonly on issue #5 but I've enjoyed each and everyone. Some of the articles are about stuff you know (like McKenzie's buttermilk drops available at Tastee's) but other stuff is definitely new (at least to me). The writing has been pretty good to excellent, the stories engaging and the photos gorgeous. It is part of the Edible communities publications.

If you wanted to know what's going on in New Orleans, you have to subscribe to one or all of the…read moreRenaissance Publishing magazines. They publish: New Orleans Magazine, St. Charles Ave., Louisiana Life, OnStage, New Orleans Bride, and New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles.

Imagine how much the folks who work at Disney really hate their jobs. Yeah, its fun the first day,…read moreweek or even month, but after the ten millionth time of hearing small world, they're either going to pick up an assault rifle or jump off of a bridge. 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.

OMG! I never knew…read morethat a real to life honest to goodness actual-like person named robbie robertson actually existed! this is sooooooo cool. thanks yelp! I'm going to go call him now.
