Cousins Rips Kings, Calls Trade To New Orleans 'coward Move

... "I got a text from the owner right before I went to All-Star (Game). He was asking me about a player, how I felt about him and making a move. The owner! When it happened, I was just in shock. I didn't understand.". Cousins heard rumors before the start of the All-Star Game that he might be headed to New Orleans. Then as he was about to meet with the media after the contest, Kings media relations director Chris Clark whispered in his ear that "there is serious talk about you possibly being moved.". Cousins learned about the deal being official later that night but he didn't hear the news from Ranadive or Divac. He said it should've been handled differently. "Like a man. Like a professional. The more those guys talk, the more things come out," Cousins said. "It's just crazy. This ain't something that happened in a few days. It has been discussed with more than one team. I just don't understand.". In January, the ...

... determined. Samson was arrested one month later, following an investigation led by New Orleans police homicide detective Rob Barrere that was featured on the A&E docudrama series "The First 48.". In Samson's arrest documents, Barrere said he was able to place the part-time barber and exotic dancer at the murder scene using both cellphone data and DNA results from a telltale pair of basketball shorts found inside the charred car, and worn by Samson in a photo found on his Instagram account. The documents also revealed Nichols placed a frantic call to 911 early in the morning she was found dead, telling the emergency operator that a man was outside her car, holding her car keys and pointing a gun at her. Additional video evidence showed Nichols and Samson leaving a Downman Road nightclub together about three hours before her death. Firefighters found Nichols' remains while extinguishing a vehicle fire at ...

New Orleans Schools Still Struggle With Integration

... He can stay in pre-K another year before he must go to kindergarten, she said, so she’s decided to keep him at Waldorf while she continues to navigate city’s school system. Because of her skepticism about charter schools, homeschooling is among the options she’s considering for Arlo, she said. “Every one of these schools has to go out and be its own little business,” Mc Cracken said. “The amount of selling the schools need to do — it puts a lot of pressure onto the schools.”. New location, new opportunities. Plessy students frequently incorporate the train car logo into collages and other artwork. The train symbolizes the work of Homer A. Plessy, an early Civil Rights hero who inspired generations of activists. Photo: Courtesy of Homer A. Plessy Community School. Educators at Plessy say one of the most difficult obstacles to recruiting parents to the school ironically relates to the reason the school opened in the first place — to serve families in the 7 th Ward neighborhood of New Orleans, an area long known for gun violence and drug activity. Central City and the 7 th Ward account for less than 7 percent of the ...

New Orleans' Best Rooftop Bars

... modernize its classic Bayou Bar and fine dining Caribbean Room. But the real draw has been the rooftop bar and lounge Hot Tin - the name a nod to onetime hotel resident Tennessee Williams - which is open to the public, featuring a separate elevator to transport locals and visitors up to the 14 th floor. At sunset it's a full-on after-work party. Truman Capote, once a Pontchartrain regular, would have approved. While the enclosed main room packs in a dressy set, romantics nab a Sazerac and go directly to the outdoor fringes, which provide sweeping views of the Mississippi River and the New Orleans Saints' illuminated Superdome. Even from this perch, you can hear the music and revelers a mile away. For a more intimate experience, there's a smaller balcony in a back corner where onlookers can gaze ...

Our 3 Favorite Menswear Shops In New Orleans

... that's authenticity. It's an intangible quality that's earned over time, usually not pretty, and that real skaters can spot from a mile away. But it's something Humidity has in abundance. First opened in 1996, Humidity is located in the French Quarter just a beaded necklace's throw from Bourbon Street—which might explain the half empty bottle of Grey Goose tucked between shoe boxes in the storage closet, which doubles as a dressing room. But despite its touristy location, Humidity has all the brands and boards that serious skaters crave, from Adidas Skateboarding to Nike SB, Quartersnacks, Polar, and even throwbacks like Osiris. Humidity also carries its own line of graphic tees inspired by New Orleans-born imprint Cash Money Records. Though they've probably sold more than one board to a wasted Mardi Gras reveler, the guys who work at the store exude Southern hospitality, and are some of the friendliest skate shop employees you'll ever meet. Even after being essentially a nightmare customer—the kind that browses racks, tries on a pair of pants, stares in the mirror for ten ...
