Stadium makeover: Thousands of drivers pass the Shrine on Airline each day and wonder what’s next for the former Triple-A baseball stadium. Longer term, a $15 million renovation is in the works. But short-term, look for a lot more high school football at the stadium this season, Blake Paterson reports.
Student loans: The U.S. Supreme Court has derailed President Biden’s plan to wipe some $400 billion in student loans off the books. Mark Ballard, our Washington reporter, writes that repayments will soon start again for 600,000 Louisiana college students. For those of you who still owe money, here's what you should know.
Heat wave: Don’t you hate it when people say, “Hot enough for ya?” Get ready to hear that some more today and through the weekend. Even by south Louisiana summertime standards, it’ll be awfully uncomfortable the next few days, Mike Smith reports.
Restaurant resolve: The headline on Ian McNulty’s recent story about Restaurant des Familles in Crown Point includes fire, flood and gators. The plot of a Charlton Heston movie? Nope, it's about a popular eatery that has overcome quite a bit and now celebrates three decades of seafood platters and gumbo.
A pirate and a haunted mansion: You had us at “pirate.” And you really had us at “haunted mansion.” Our friends at the Biloxi Sun Herald write today about a famous Louisiana pirate and the house on the coast where he is said to have lived.
