Happy Thursday, friends. Here's what's on the menu at the NOLA.com cafe.
Lights out: There doesn’t have to be a storm raging for the lights to go out. After seven power outages this month, the New Orleans City Council wants answers from Entergy, James Finn reports.

A song and an internet divided: The Louisiana delegation’s “walk-out” song at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago is making some internet waves. (What doesn’t make internet waves, right?) Poet Wolfe takes a look at the reaction to Louisiana’s song.
