re: Glenn Armentor resigns from LSU BoS

Thoughts and prayers to him.
But objectively speaking, Landry will probably replace this personal injury lawyer with another one. It's amazing how many there are in Louisiana who have made millions and been able to achieve such influence with our legislature and governors. I doubt any other state has this phenomenon to this degree.

re: When did Lafayette pass Baton Rouge as the 2nd best city in LA?
Posted by Tall Tiger on 3/2/26 at 5:24 pm to nugget
I never could get Lafayette's allure. Not saying it is bad, and maybe it's because I don't have any Acadian lineage, but I would rather live in NOLA, BR, Shreveport, or Alexandria (in that order) before Lafayette.
re: DJ Journal Op Piece: Frivolous Lawsuits Are Killing Louisiana’s Economy
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/27/26 at 8:17 am to ragincajun03
It's the thousands of frivolous auto suits that wreck our state. Low speed, soft tissue cases that get the benefit of a full fledged state court action presided over by judges who get elected with campaign contributions from the plaintiff bar. Insurers are forced to write checks to settle these claims because they cannot be won otherwise. It's why your auto insurance premiums are so high.
re: Jack Dorsey just laid off half of work force. The severance is quite healthy.

I keep hearing this and I can't help but wonder how the entire government and economy won't collapse if this is true. Most of the tax base are white collar jobs that pay somewhere in the six figures, and the federal government takes about 40% of their income. What these people have leftover pays for most of the housing stock, vehicles, school tuitions, and various other valuable discretionary goods.
So the end result is that the federal government will run out of money to operate as the tax base disappears, and most meaningful sales of valuable goods will cease.

re: Did you or your kids have a huge growth spurt or was it more gradual?
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/26/26 at 8:17 am to StringedInstruments
I have tall parents and have always been tall. My growth was gradual but I grew the most in 9th grade. By freshman year in college I had topped off at 6'5" and 1/2.
I know the OT is acutely sensitive of height, and yes, this is a brag.

re: What Were You Doing On A Friday Night In High School?
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/26/26 at 8:05 am to STigers
Some combination of playing Super Nintendo and sitting on the bench in basketball games. By senior year I had gotten smart, and was getting into bars on a fake ID.
re: Who else didn't know Lake Pontchartrain was a top 5 U.S. destination for deadly sharks
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/25/26 at 4:42 pm to PelicanState87
The thread title is misleading. Specific to Nola, the article only talks about adolescent Bull Sharks and notes there is little history of attacks on people in the Lake in 100+ years. I've always known there were Bull Sharks in the Nola area. This article is nothing ground breaking.
re: After 21 years NOLA decides to spend million to plan what to do with Municipal Auditorium
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/20/26 at 1:00 pm to LSUtoBOOT
I randomly saw Widespread Panic at the Auditorium during Jazz Fest 2001. Wasn't really my scene but fun nonetheless.
The city waited way too long to fix the building, and now inflation has limited how far the allocated funding will go. And the local Treme residents now have it in their heads that they basically own the building and anything done with it must meet their approval. Just use your imagination in terms of what people in Treme want to do with that building. If they could beat the unscrupulous Latoya on her repurposing plan, they can probably beat any mayor.

Elvis and Led Zeppelin played there. The amount of history in that building is amazing.
The decision not to use the FEMA money to repair it was pure spite. They didn't want Mardi Gras krewes to be able to use it anymore. And the $40 million in FEMA money allocated to fix it 20 years ago will now only cover the roof and mechanical systems if that. The city cut off its nose to spite its face.

re: Train hits car on Metairie Road
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/19/26 at 2:18 pm to TIGERHOLD
Such an unsightly structure would interfere with the bucolic setting of Metairie Road in the heart of Old Metairie. Over eager drivers need to relax, and stop look and listen. Or better yet, pull over for a breather and get a drink at Winston's while the train rolls down the track.
re: Another old line NOLA law firm closing up
Posted by Tall Tiger on 2/18/26 at 7:52 pm to vistajay
Big Nola law firms have historically had a lot of staying power. Not counting mergers, prior to 2026 I could only think of two closing in my lifetime. This makes two in the last two months.

One of broadcasters has a daughter who is queen. Will he take this year off and is it possible Henri the GOAT will come out of retirement for just one night to give us his commentary?

When I was a senior we had drinks with some of our teachers who were the same age, and I'm pretty sure it was at the same bar. It was cool to have a beer with your teacher. Shame on these girls for letting it get weird.

Never been to those places, in most cases never even heard of them. Hole in the wall hipster joints trying to act tough.

Good find on that plaque. The Rex organization went out there a year ago and did a remembrance. It was on the wyes meeting of the courts broadcast last year.

And again, Point Du Mardi Gras was still the first ever Mardi Gras celebration, in 1699 in present day Louisiana. And the first real Mardi Gras parade started at Magazine and Julia in New Orleans in 1857. Facts are facts. Bye!
