Imagine you are shopping for a used car with a friend. During the course of the day, it seems that everything they like, you hate. Features they are searching for don’t seem important to you (does anyone really need heated seats in New Orleans?). The color that they have their heart set on makes you…
School is out and I’m already thinking about a summer get away. We could easily spend time on the beaches of Alabama, just a 3 or 4 hour ride away. We could hop a flight and be almost anywhere in the United States within just a few hours. But, instead of spending extra money and…
Just in from the City of New Orleans: This Saturday, June 11, the City will sponsor a Household Hazardous Waste Day from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 2829 Elysian Fields Avenue. On Household Hazardous Waste Day, the Department of Sanitation will collect a number of every day household items which are no longer in…
While everyone is arguing about whether or not the tolls should be removed from the Crescent City Connection, it’s still a reality that it costs $1 to get from the West Bank to the East Bank on the CCC bridge. Cut your costs by 60% with a toll tag. Your tag gives you access to…

In the New Orleans area there…
Remember after Katrina how as businesses reopened they would flood the neutral grounds with signs? Or during the elections how the politicians line every major street in the city with their campaign signs? At least after Katrina it served a purpose with so few phones working and the cable and internet out for thousands and…
We are experiencing drought conditions in New Orleans right now, with the second lowest measure rainfall in decades and gardens everywhere are screaming for water, water and more water. It’s not just gardens that can be affected by the drought…as the ground dries out, it can shift under slab homes, causing problems with foundations. Even…
With so many homeowners struggling today, this is good information to have in a format that fits busy lifestyles. Download the information you want and listen to it in the car, on your computer, your iPad or on your smart phone. Kudos to Fannie Mae for being so forward thinking and going to the consumer….
