Has anyone been listening to 870 AM's interviews with returning evacuees? They manage to pop the soft, milky government teat out of their mouths long enough to complain about everything, from the food, to the shelter, to the method of transportation to the length of the trip. Unbelievable. You ain'...

I do miss the old style barber shop atmosphere. When I first moved down here twelve or so years ago there were two or three old men cutting hair at a place in Fat City. Their shop justed oozed of an older N.O. setting and I think they even used to be in the Irish Channel at one time. One had been a...
