Good morning, New Orleans.

Twenty years after Katrina, Entergy played a key role in restoring power, rebuilding neighborhoods, and funding local projects in New Orleans—its 'Powering Life: From Recovery to Renewal' series now shows plans to further invest in education, sustainability, and economic support.

Michael Marryshow—longtime owner of the Red Lantern shop on Royal Street—died earlier this week in a motorcycle crash and is remembered in the French Quarter for his kindness and positive spirit.

The Anthropologie store is moving from its longtime downtown home to Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie—General Manager Matt Brown said the change opens the space at Canal Place for new retailers.

No opening date has been announced.

Angie Russo was hired as a business development underwriter at LUBA Casualty Insurance and David Carter was promoted to principal at Emergent Method.

Dr. Harry Sequeira joined the cell therapy program at Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Institute—Matt Duhe became director of account management at Rep Data.

Pastor Randy Smith led a service at Crossbrand Cowboy Church in Loranger on September 14 with a prayer followed by bull riding—drawing newcomers to the back pew before the sermon began.

A recent Fox 8 poll showed that 18 percent of New Orleans voters approved of Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s leadership while 71 percent disapproved, and many said the city is headed in the wrong direction.

Cantrell was indicted on federal corruption charges (she pleaded not guilty this month) and early voting for the Oct. 11 mayoral election will run from Sept. 27 to Oct. 4.

Following a Sept. 4 cyberattack, the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office system was offline for 15 days, disrupting Civil District Court operations—judges advised that attorneys confirm service before hearings as officials await a timeline for system restoration.

A new four-story apartment building named Riverside Retreat opened in Federal City in Algiers, marking the first new housing on the old Navy base since 2011.

The building has 70 units for low-income seniors earning up to $50K per year and uses strong design for floods—56 units were rented in its first month.

On Sept. 19, Lakeshore won a game against Northshore by a score of 28 to 13 at Titan Coliseum; they trailed briefly when junior quarterback JJ Gonzales scored but rallied with a 21 point run in the second half.
