AAA tells us the average per-gallon price around south Louisiana jumped 16-17 cents in just one day last week and is up 50 cents over the past week.
Who's holding? We tracked some medical marijuana data and thought you might be interested to learn which parishes have the highest percentage of people who have bought legal marijuana. In our metro, St. Tammany's at the top.

Don we now our green apparel: The St. Patrick’s Day parades across the area were the first to really feel the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic, cancelling their rolls in 2020 and 2021. Good news: The parades are back this year - and they start this weekend. Really. So if you're not paraded out (and we know you're not), head out to the route. Somebody has to snag all those cabbages. Speaking of . . . there were a couple of pooch parades over the weekend on the north shore. Check out the pix - they're, uh, pawsome. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
