Long drives: A much-anticipated Topgolf coming to downtown New Orleans' new River District may mean some historic streets will be rerouted. Schools step in: Speaking of the River District, the school board wants to rescind the $21.6 million tax break an anchor tenant — Shell Oil — is getting from the city. 'Sharing that joy:' A house in Metairie shines brighter than most this time of year, as a couple with the Christmas spirit hosts a sparkling light display and more. "We have more extension cords than Home Depot," the owner joked.

Festive Friday: As always, Victor Andrews has your weekly list of holiday happenings, from Jingle on the Boulevard to arts markets for last-minute gifts. Happy holidays, Lauren |
