TBH, I was worried that the intro regarding Landry might feel a little forced or tacked on. But it's important to underline what a bastard he is. Most people know about DeSantis and Abbott, but Landry is just as bad -- and New Orleans is more vulnerable than Miami or Houston! 😱
Those jackasses don't care about hurting their state or its people for politics. No wonder young people flee Louisiana in droves. When they killed the movie business it left for Georgia, and the state lost tons of money. They don't want to be friendly to anyone but their own hateful kind.
Thanks...it's definitely a complex subject. There was no way I could tackle all the nuances in a single article, but I hope it gives people some things to mull over as they celebrate Fat Tuesday, in Nola or elsewhere.
Thanks for a great piece of prescient history!
Glad you liked it.

A meticulously researched and fascinating new angle on one of America’s great cities.
So that’s where ‘cribs’ came from!
