LETS TALK ABOUT SHORT TERM FROG HOTELS - do you have one?

So I have been on a mission to bring life back into my little block of Uptown after realizing all of the renovations in the last 15 years have erased most of the overgrown lots. The blight wasn't nice, but the greenery helped the ecosystem more than I realized at the time.

My nighttime natural noise (crickets, frogs, and toads) have basically disappeared. Same with daytime stuff like eastern box tortoises. This has been a multifaceted effort, and I have planted many things on my property.

Next on the agenda is frogs. I used to have tree frogs! They would tend to place themselves in bad spots like door jambs and windows. They got accidentally smashed sometimes, but they made frog noises.

I was reading up on how to create habitats for them, and I learned about frog hotels. Have any of you built a frog hotel or frog habitat? Can you share your results?

Brenda's in San Francisco was pretty great.

I'm new to Fairfield, CA and went to San Francisco for a block party event. Even though I don't know anyone here yet, the food at Brenda's gave me no complaints. 😁

Where can I have the best cultural experience watching Mexico vs England tonight?

Surprise! Not a cat post from me.

I asked this over in r/asknola without much success, so I figured I’d post it over here, too. I’m local and hoping to find a good spot to have a cultural experience watching Mexico vs England tonight. I know of the usual spots - Cooter Brown’s, Finn McCool’s, Prytania Bar, etc - but want to be surrounded by Mexico fans and hopefully eat some good grub while doing it. I’m all about the atmosphere and willing to check out spots in Kenner or the West Bank, if necessary.

Pantry staples?

Hi y'all (that's Texan for "hello my babies").

Temporary resident here, in town for a year for my job. First, thanks for letting me stay with y'all, it's been lovely getting to know you and your incredible city. I'm halfway through and you've already made me a better human, I love you very much. I barely drive too, so if you see a Texas plate doing something stupid, it ain't me lol.

I got a quick question for those of y'all that cook. I like to keep a pantry full of staple ingredients like broth, canned goods, rice, dried beans, etc plus some things I always use in the produce drawer like garlic, onion, and tomato. Then I just kind of shop the sales and between what I bought and what I've got I decide what to make for the week. My staples have changed a little bit since I got here. Less ham hock, more turkey neck. Always keep some frozen crawfish and shrimp in the freezer. I try to have andouille and tasso (which tbh I still don't know how to use properly) and obviously now green bell pepper is in the drawer. I've always loved your food and have cooked it before, but I'm really just starting to feel comfortable enough to grab a few things and improvise, so I know I'm forgetting some key ingredients. What would you add to my grocery list if you were me, and you also wanted to be more like you?

Thanks in advance, appreciate y'all.

I'm pro-bridge lights, but wtf.

We spent a grip on these bridge lights, why the fuck are so many out already, and did we have some kind of service agreement with the installer?

Reports of Entergy Outage map crashing

I've had a few people mention that are currently without power mention that the entergy map has been crashing for them, my guess is that it is because there are approximately (according to Entergy) 950+ people in a not huge area trying to refresh the maps because they keep promising the have it done, and pushing it back every 2 hours. (Promised at 2am, ram, currently at 6am) So I am going to check the maps, as I am not in the quarter, and if it changes, I will note the changes in a reply.

Update from Our Catch Basin Crawl: Mid-City

A little late, but we wanted to share some photos from Strong Towns NOLA’s first catch-basin crawl.

A few of us got out around Linda Boggs/Norman C. Francis and cleared leaves, sediment, and debris from several catch basins. It was rainy and muddy, but we got it done.

It is a small thing, but keeping drainage clear is one of those basic forms of neighborhood maintenance that can make a real difference when heavy rain hits.

Thank you to everyone who came out, brought tools, or supported us. We are excited to keep building this group and to organize more practical neighborhood projects soon.

If you are interested in joining a future cleanup or meeting, keep an eye on Strong Towns NOLA / drop a comment below.

Did anyone find out what was up with that Letlow endorsement by the Times-Picayune?

It's not clear who it even speaks for:
Editors' note: No reporters or editors in The Times-Picayune newsroom or its Washington Bureau participated in any way in the endorsement.
