Horror! ESPN talkers wrapped up a pre-game show before the LSU-South Carolina basketball game Thursday night by tearing into a king cake. Literally. Our Zoe Collins Rath says it provoked quite the response from locals.
River District controversy: The state Attorney General has weighed in on the controversial tax deal for developers of the $1 billion River District project along the river in New Orleans. Biz writer Tony McAuley has the latest.
Cover their eyes: Krewe du Vieux hits the streets in New Orleans Saturday night for its annual R-rated (or worse...) look at politics, culture and all manner of other things. Our Doug MacCash has a preview/warning. Speaking of parades, Keith Spera caught up with Mardi Gras man Arthur Hardy, who, at 77, “still loves the Carnival life.”
Familiar face: Andre Moreau’s mug sure gets around. The former Baton Rouge TV news anchor’s face has become a favorite of scammers, Rebecca Holland in our Baton Rouge newsroom reports.
