Good morning, New Orleans.

Tulane University's uptown campus will host the free 5th annual New Orleans Book Festival from March 12 to March 15 — featuring more than 250 authors, artists, storytellers, and sessions on literature, history, music, and food with an expanded Family Day on Sunday.

Ursuline Academy closed Monday morning after a water main break on Panola Street disrupted water service and prompted a boil water advisory (from the east bank).

Other Uptown schools remained open at 8 a.m. (students switched to virtual learning at Ursuline).

The New Orleans Redevelopment Authority will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony today at noon at 3333 Fourth Street in Central City for its first Double Up!

Duplex, a program that pairs owner-occupied homes with rental units to help families build equity (supported by Councilmember Lesli Harris and People’s Housing+).

S&WBNO Director Randy Hayman said a water main break in South Carrollton led to a boil water advisory for many on the East Bank, and repair crews are working to restore service today.
