Linda Frickey trial: Trial opened this morning for a defendant in the death of Linda Frickey in a shocking Mid-City carjacking in 2022. It comes a week after three others entered guilty pleas to reduced charges, Jillian Kramer reports.
‘Going nowhere’: Welp, no painting a pretty picture for Black & Gold Nation this morning. The day after another hard-to-watch defeat (this time, against the hated Falcons) columnist Jeff Duncan opines that the future doesn’t look so bright. Ugh.
‘Mad Men’-style hotel: The redevelopment of the old Our Lady of Lourdes School in Uptown will come with a “Mad Men”-style hotel. I know, right? “Mad Men?” Business reporter Tony McAuley has the details.
Carving up Louisiana: Ever wonder how Louisiana’s various parishes got their shapes? Staff writer Robin Miller looked into it.
