Big money from angel investors. And New Orleans takes Final Four bow

By Bob Warren

Heaven Sent: You’ve no doubt heard the term “angel investor.” But maybe you don’t know how they fit into New Orleans’ economy. Tony McAuley has the details today about one local network’s $1 million in investments last month.


Calling It Home: Some big investment news out of New Orleans East. A developer has unveiled plans for a new, 116-home subdivision on 36 acres near the mothballed Six Flags amusement park. Check out the rest here.


A Final (Four) Bow: When the buzzer sounded late Monday night, Kansas had defeated North Carolina to claim the NCAA national basketball championship. But sports columnist Jeff Duncan says New Orleans is the big winner of this year’s Final Four. As Jeff writes, “Take a bow, New Orleans.”


'Targeted': A man who authorities say fired a shot at a Kenner police officer in 2019 now stands accused killing a witness scheduled to testify in his trial. “He was definitely targeted,” the victim's grieving mother tells our Michelle Hunter.


Bounced fees: Who among us hasn’t bounced a check. Or two. Hancock Whitney Bank is getting rid of some fees for overdrafts and insufficient funds, joining a number of other banks doing the same. It’s expected to cost Hancock Whitney $11 million.


Hope you enjoyed today’s Lunch Line. Thanks for taking a break with us. And of course, be sure to check out NOLA.com for more news throughout the day.
