    Once banned from St. Louis Cathedral, this French Quarter artist is back (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    St. Louis Cathedral’s churchyard fence is an outdoor art gallery hung with everything from French Quarter landscapes, to cartoon animals, to portraits of the Rolling Stones. What you’re not going to find anymore are artist Patrick Parton’s grotesque, Goth sculptures of the female torso. A few days ago, Parton was prohibited from displaying such sculptures on the stout iron railing. Over the past few weeks, Parton and the Archdiocese of New Orleans have butted heads over what’s appropriat

    Ghost Manor is back for Halloween 2026 with spooky Simon and Garfunkel theme. See details. (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    The most terrifying thing that ever happened at the popular Ghost Manor Halloween display was the mutilation of Magazine Street in 2025. Road construction crews slashed the pavement, severed the flow of traffic and throttled pedestrian access near the site of the popular attraction at the corner of Second Street. The frightening scene prompted impresarios David and Jessica Gentry to cancel their amazing, annual animatronic show for the first time in 13 years. Happily, the street has healed, the

    Louellen Berger, the St. Charles Avenue impresario of plastic skeletons, jumped the hot glue gun this year. She began erecting her landmark Halloween display at the corner of State Street a week earlier than usual. Berger required the extra time, she said, because of the impending arrival of house guests.

    Michael Jackson-inspired water aerobics instructor is a star at Treme Community Center (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Treme Recreation Community Center needs to install spotlights over the swimming pool and maybe a mirror ball too, because the water aerobics classes there aren’t just workouts, they’re chlorine-scented disco dance shows. At a recent 6 p.m. class, The O’Jays boomed from a poolside speaker. One lifeguard played air guitar as he surveyed the dozens of heads bobbing in blue water. Another lifeguard go-go’d in place. At center stage grooved Lucious Dunham, the class leader. Sure, Dunham d

    Are these New Orleans’ 9 most endangered historic places? A new list says so. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A 70-year-old neighborhood barroom in Central City, marked by a giant martini glass, has thus-far escaped demolition. A vintage burger joint, right out of American Graffiti, near Tulane University’s Yulman Stadium hasn’t yet been merged into an apartment development. And a deteriorating, canary yellow townhouse dating back to the Storyville era still survives near the cemeteries in Tremé. But how long these charming architectural throwbacks and others like them can hang on is a worry for pr
