with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editor

Good afternoon. Here are our top headlines.

TREES FOR SALE, MAYBE: The sale of a Girl Scout camp in Tangipahoa Parish is on hold while a group of ex-Scouts challenges the deal. A judge put a halt to the purchase pending a hearing on whether the Scouting group followed its own procedures in arranging the transaction, as James Finn explores.

ANOTHER TIGERLAND DEATH: There's been another killing in Tigerland. The victim of a shooting Sunday has died of his injuries. The Tiger Plaza complex has been the subject of numerous complaints in recent years.

IN WINE, THERE IS TRUTH: From the folks who brought you City Pork and Rouj Creole comes a new restaurant, Proverbial Wine Bistro. And there, you will find more than 50 different wines and big, shareable boards of meats and cheeses and even desserts. Check it out here.
