WTF, Spongebob? Jazzland/Six Flags Needs Another Buyer
01/18/2012
Two years ago — nearly two years ago to the day — a certain cueball-headed mayor of New Orleans announced that Jazzland/Six Flags was coming back. The theme park where so many of my friends had worked before the storm, performing to crowds of dozens (on a good day), has done nothing but gather mold [...]
Sex Crimes And Other Offenses That Become Louisiana Law Today
01/18/2012
At the moment, Louisiana is run by Republicans: we have a Republican governor (a terrible one, IMHO) and the party holds a majority in both the House and the Senate. As elsewhere, many of these GOP legislators are first-timers, and they’re pissing off the elders with their arrogance, their Tea Party-naivete, and their frequent ineptitude*. [...]
Suddenly, Storm Season
01/18/2012
Four storms in the Atlantic? When did this happen? Ack. Also: for those keeping track at home, we’re just four weeks away from the peak of the North Atlantic hurricane season, which is generally considered to be September 10. Fingers crossed, bags packed….
Helping Pets Is As Easy As Eating Out At Tonight’s ‘Pause 4 Dinner’
Event

In case you haven’t heard, tonight is the Louisiana SPCA’s “Pause 4 Dinner” dine-around. If you’ve never taken part in an event like this, never fear: it’s simple and straightforward. Just head to dinner at one of the many participating restaurants. There’s a range of spots on the list — from the very affordable to [...]
Much Of America Still Hates Louisiana (And Our Congressional
Delegation Isn’t Helping)
01/18/2012
Many of us bitch and moan about the commenters on NOLA.com. To the site’s credit, it’s doing a better job of moderating these days, but it’s still pretty easy to find racist, homophobic, inflammatory remarks lurking below the fold. I mean, I’m not asking anyone to curtail her right to free speech — if you [...]
Hurricane Irene: Be Prepared (And Please Don’t Blame The Gays)
01/18/2012
Since New Orleans isn’t directly in the path of Hurricane Irene, I haven’t heard as much discussion about the storm and all that she threatens to disrupt as I normally would. But of course, Irene is likely to cause a lot of damage, and at the very least, she’ll put a serious damper on people’s [...]
26 Names That Will Never Make It Onto The North Atlantic Hurricane
List
01/18/2012
In honor of the start of the 2011 North Atlantic Hurricane Season, here is a list of names that will (probably) never make it onto the World Meteorological Organization’s annual list: Airfoundia High school classmate. Wallflower type. Barely heard from before graduation, never heard from after. Boadicea Although it would be funny. Cicciolina Which would [...]
The Pioneering Disney Animator Living In My Neighborhood: A
Follow-Up
01/18/2012
A year and a half ago, I had a handful of sidewalk conversations with one of the most interesting women the Marigny has to offer: Eva Schneider. In halting English — weirdly broken for someone who’s lived in the U.S. for most of her life — she told me about the years she spent working [...]
Inauguration 2012
01/17/2012
Being elected as lieutenant governor of Louisiana is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life and not because of the reasons that may come to your mind. It’s because of the job that I get to do every day for the next four years. A job that comes easy to me: promoting the state of Louisiana, a place I consider to be the best place on Earth.
In my inaugural address I chose to talk about the happiest place on earth and my lifetime home, Louisiana. I talked about the rich cultural history, the world-renowned music and the joie de vivre that makes Louisiana unique.
Southern Living Knows Food

I know I tend to talk about food often on this blog but I just can't resist. It's one of our best assets. Anyone who has visited Louisiana can attest to wanting to come back and taste it all over again. Southern Living is an expert on the South’s best offerings and they are right on, nominating not one, but two of Louisiana’s cities in its South’s Tastiest Town Awards.
Louisiana festivals named among country's best

Loads of free entertainment in Louisiana
01/17/2012
Yesterday I was in Jennings to participate in a press conference about the Grand Reveil Acadien which is happening across south Louisiana Oct. 7 – Oct. 16. While I was there I took the opportunity to talk about a neat project our office just completed. In conjunction with Louisiana’s 200th birthday we produced 200 Free Things to Do When You Visit Louisiana. The list features fun activities throughout the state. And the best part is it’s all free.

Northward Bound
01/17/2012
A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of representing Louisiana on a mission to Quebec City. I met with several officials including the Ministers of Culture and Tourism. During our meetings we discussed the mutual benefits Québec and Louisiana could derive from fostering tourism between us.

From Beaches to Poboys: My Week Around the State
01/17/2012
What a week I had last week!
I spent some time away from the capital city enjoying other parts of this great state.
Wednesday I headed up to Chatham in Jackson Parish to visit Jimmie Davis State Park. It is truly a beautiful park, and I wish I would have had more time to enjoy the fantastic sandy beach on Caney Lake. It’s also a great place for birding and cycling.
Part 2: River Road Plantations
01/17/2012
The road that follows the Mighty Mississippi in south Louisiana is home to some of the state's most historic plantation homes. Throughout the past couple of weeks I have had the privilege to visit five of Louisiana’s historic antebellum homes. These homes, dotted along the river, can be found after a short drive from either New Orleans or Baton Rouge. They allow you to get lost in the mystique of the antebellum period. Each River Road plantation tells its story in a unique way and, though no two are the same, all are interesting and beautiful.
A Message From the Secretary
01/17/2012
Our motto at the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is “Conserve. Protect. Replenish.” Everything we do relates to these three words. On Feb. 16, 2011, LDWF put that motto into action by participating in a historical event that reintroduced an animal species not seen in Louisiana’s wild since 1950 – the whooping crane. [...]
Whooping Cranes Return to White Lake
01/17/2012
Restoration Begins in Southwest Louisiana Marshes by Carrie Salyers There are many success stories on species recovery associated with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) and in February 2011 LDWF added one more. The department’s Coastal and Nongame Resources Division (CNR) moved forward with a whooping crane re-population project that will be as [...]
Outdoor Roots
01/17/2012
by David Moreland Spring and summer are busy times both for wildlife and the people who enjoy the Louisiana flora and fauna. For those of us who hunt, the wildlife game species are raising their young for the next seasons. Colorful spring wildflowers give way to the summer wildflowers which are just as colorful. Song [...]
When Frogs Croak
01/17/2012
“The frogs are a nuisance!” I’ve gotten calls about nuisance spiders, birds, rats, snakes and bears, but the frog complaint was a first. The caller had built a goldfish pond adjacent to their bedroom window and it was now filled with a cacophony of anuran amour. “What can I do?” I was going to reply [...]

Landowners for Wildlife Private Lands Program
01/17/2012
by Fred Kimmel & John Robinette About eight out of every 10 acres of land in Louisiana are privately owned. Private landowners vary from forest industry that owns tens of thousands of acres to owners of small tracts of pastureland. The abundance and distributionof wildlife in Louisiana is largely determined by how habitat on [...]
The Good Long Adventure

Story By: Hali Dardar Photos by: Phillip Taylor On Dec. 20, 2010 David Wojcik visited Morgan City, La. for the first time. “It was a lot different than I thought,” Wojcik said, “ I thought I would land on the bank of the river, flat and calm. I dreamed I would get out of my [...]
All in a Day’s Work

Along with the long hours and hard work we sometimes cross paths with the weird, unusual and unexplainable, making our jobs a bit entertaining on those days. The following are true stories collected from LDWF employees and other conservation agencies from across the nation. Muddy Mess An LDWF agent was contacted by a landowner and [...]
