Once banned from St. Louis Cathedral, this French Quarter artist is back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
St. Louis Cathedralâs churchyard fence is an outdoor art gallery hung with everything from French Quarter landscapes, to cartoon animals, to portraits of the Rolling Stones. What youâre not going to find anymore are artist Patrick Partonâs 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 whatâs 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.

Read excerpt

At a recent 6 p.m. class, The OâJays boomed from a poolside speaker. One lifeguard played air guitar as he surveyed the dozens of heads bobbing in blue water. Another lifeguard go-goâd 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)
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 Universityâs Yulman Stadium hasnât 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
