What's making news in New Orleans
| By Chad Calder | Staff writer WE'LL TAKE IT: A week after losing a game they should have won, the New Orleans Saints won one they should have lost, thanks to a few big plays — including a Hail Mary touchdown pass to close out the first half against the Washington Football Team. We've got our usual breakdown and analysis of the game, along with a look at the brutal hit that knocked Taysom Hill out of the game. You'll find all of our coverage of the game here. LUCKY 13? Mayor LaToya Cantrell did not draw a well known — or well funded — challenger in her bid for reelection, which experts chalk up to the fact that voters in New Orleans have historically sent mayors back to a second term.

SAND FROM GLASS: New Orleans-based Glass Half Full, the only glass recycler in the state, has always intended for the sand it produces to find its way to help restore Louisiana's coastline. Reporter Halle Parker has the story of the company's next best chance to make that happen.

On Sunday, she was honored with a parade of cars passing by her house on her 99th birthday. Thanks for starting your day with us on The Front Page and at Nola.com. CC |
