Urban Air Adventure Park, Goldfish Swim School headed to Covington
By: CityBusiness staff
A former Rouses grocery store in Covington is being turned into an Urban Air Adventure Park and Goldfish Swim School.
Based in Houston, the Urban Air franchise group says it is the largest indoor adventure park operator in the world. Venues feature various activities for kids, including trampolines, laser tag, dodgeball courts, obstacle courses, climbing ropes and more.
The company has more than 159 locations across the U.S. and over 130 under development. Its other Louisiana location is in Denham Springs.
Michigan-based Goldfish Swim School provides swim lessons and water safety instruction to infants and children ages four months to 12 years. It opened its first location in 2009 and now has over 135 schools and 130 more under development in the U.S. and Canada.
In Covington, the venues will be located at 50 Park Place Drive, next to Home Depot and operated by husband and wife Rachelle Nurse and Joe Goodly, who oversee two other Urban Air parks. The development is expected to open in early November 2023 following a multimillion-dollar renovation.
It is being led by Covington-based Gulf States Real Estate and Construction Services, with financing provided by Citizens National Bank, a news release said.
Urban Air will take up most of the 58,000-square-foot space, with Goldfish Swim School in the remaining 10,000 square feet, according to Gulf States founder and president Mike Saucier.
Rouses, which has a larger store near the Claiborne Hill overpass in Covington and two others in Mandeville, recently closed its location at 50 Park Place.
The grocer is allowing its employees to transfer to other area stores, the release said.

The Historic New Orleans Collection
Join us in celebrating the New Orleans debut of "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition," an interactive experience that offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future of a landmark that has weathered wars, witnessed Napoleon's coronation, withstood a devastating fire in 2019, and is now undergoing a meticulous restoration to return the structure to its former glory.
Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.
After stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.
Admission is free, with timed-ticketing reservations required. Learn more and reserve tickets: hnoc.org/notre-dame

Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles
A bilingual exhibition / Una exposición bilingüe
November 17, 2022–January 22, 2023 /

Free ticketed admission / Acceso gratuito con entrada
About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición
New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.
Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era
Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023
Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.
In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.
“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

NATIONAL VICHYSSOISE DAY
November 18th recognizes a cold soup that is loved by many. It is National Vichyssoise Day.
Made thick with pureed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream and chicken stock, Vichyssoise is traditionally served cold though sometimes is eaten hot.
In the United States, Vichyssoise is pronounced: vish – e – swaz.
Culinary historians debate the origin of Vichyssoise. However, the man most credited with the reinvention of the soup is French chef Louis Diat. Back in 1950, New Yorker Magazine interviewed Diat, who was the chef at the Ritz Carlton in New York City; he told them:
“In the summer of 1917, when I had been at the Ritz seven years, I reflected upon the potato and leek soup of my childhood which my mother and grandmother used to make. I recalled how during the summer my older brother and I used to cool it off by pouring in cold milk and how delicious it was. I resolved to make something of the sort for the patrons of the Ritz.”
Recipes have been found for soup very similar to Vichyssoise but served hot dating back as far as 1869.

1880 - 1885: Canal Street
One side of an undated and unattributed stereograph from the collection of Clarence John Laughlin taken from the base of the Clay statue at the intersection of Canal Street and St. Charles Avenue/Royal Street looking west up Canal Street. There are, however, several landmarks that may help pinpoint the date for us. Although cataloged by the Louisiana Digital Library as being a “print of a 18thcentury photograph’” this is clearly a misprint. The Clay statue was erected in 1860.
On the far left is Moreau's Restaurant, then Eyrich's Bookstore (established in 1869), then a wig manufacturer. Just left of center is the Pickwick Club building on the corner of Carondelet Street. In the foreground is a coffee cart with the vendor with his back to the photographer, but behind his cart is one of the streetcar starter kiosks with advertising panels for Lhote & Company, a millwork company established in 1850 that was located on the Old Basin Canal at Franklin and Toulouse, known for sash and door work.
Four bobtail streetcar lines inbound and outbound, with carriage and wagon traffic in both directions on Canal Street on both sides of the street. New Orleans didn’t begin to replace the bobtail streetcars with electric cars until 1893.
But the key is on the right side of the image where you see the spire for the third iteration of Christ Episcopal Cathedral, erected in 1847, but the congregation sold the property in 1884. The following year the church was demolished and replaced with the Mercier Building in 1885. So our photograph was likely taken between 1880 and 1885.

Stained Glass Wine House Celebrates First-Year Anniversary
201 Huey P. Long Ave, Suite A, Gretna, LA 70053
Over the many decades since America's founding, the bravest men and women have made a ton of sacrifices. Whether it meant sailing the stormy Atlantic or storming the perilous jungles in Vietnam, they all had a goal--to preserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
As Veteran's Day approaches, Stained Glass Wine House will be celebrating its first birthday by hosting exciting events in partnership with Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs:
· Paws for Veterans: Bring your pooch for a fun day of Mutt Strutt, photos, games, and vendors on Saturday, November 19. Guests will also enjoy specialty drinks and live music from personality Indy Blu at 1 p.m. You can register here. Participation packages are also available!
All proceeds will help raise money for a Louisiana veteran with PTSD to adopt a service dog. They are raising $25,000, which will help cover the costs for training and owning the pet. Your support will make a world of difference.
About Stained Glass Wine House
Stained Glass Wine House is owned and operated by four Air Force veterans in 2021. Hailed as one of the best bars in Gretna by Where Y'at, they give customers a unique self-serve experience in a relaxed, community-centric environment. Charcuterie and dessert boards are also available. They plan on expanding operations to Jefferson Parish.

Ulfhednar Movie Screening
November 25 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Blue Cypress Books hosts a screening of the animated short Úlfhéðnar with local filmmaker Scott Nielsen on November 25th at 6:30pm.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Mr. Nielsen.
This event is free and open to the public and will take place at the bookstore, located at 8123 Oak Street, New Orleans, LA 70118.
Úlfhéðnar: In this animated short inspired by Norse fairy tales, Freki, a villager from a small settlement is attacked while hunting. New perspectives clash with old traditions as his clan reacts to the changes caused by the attack. Following his too-quick recovery Freki attempts to return to life as normal while struggling with dreams that reveal his true nature. Can he control what he is now destined to become?
Úlfhéðnar has been an official selection at over a dozen film festivals including, South African HorrorFest, International SciFi & Fantasy Film Festival, and ScreamFest Horror Film Fest – New Orleans. It was also voted Best Short of the Month at IndieX Film Fest.
Scott Nielsen has been working in entertainment for over 20 years. Starting in regional theater he held many positions including Master Electrician, Technical Director, Musical Director, and Sound Designer.

GOOD SHEPHERD SCHOOL ANNOUNCES STAR-STUDDED “NIGHT AT THE OSCARS” GALA TO SUPPORT SCHOOL’S PHILANTHROPIC MISSION
“Night at the Oscars“ Gala to Take Place Thursday, December 1 at The Cannery in Mid-City
(New Orleans) –Good Shepherd School (GSS) announced today their annual gala with a theme of “Night at the Oscars” on Thursday, December 1, 2022, at The Cannery in Mid-City with the event’s patron party beginning at 6:30 p.m. and the main event starting at 7:30 p.m.
This year’s celebratory soiree will feature entertainment from renowned international party band “After Party.” Food and exotic drinks for the event will be prepared by Toulouse Gourmet Catering.
The “Night at the Oscars” gala is a new and picturesque twist on GSS’s annual “Dancing with the Stars” gala and will have special honorees and awards handed out over the course of the night. Some GSS graduates will be spotlighted in video vignettes during the gala.
“This year’s ‘Night at the Oscars’ gala will be a spectacular event and bring a little bit of Hollywood to New Orleans,” said GSS President and CEO Thomas Moran. “It’s the perfect event to celebrate our supporters and the hard work our team at GSS provides helping families break the cycle of generational poverty through quality, faith-based education – all funded by the generosity of others.”
The event will continue the legacy of the school’s founder, Father Harry Tompson. Since opening its doors in 2001, the Gentilly-based Good Shepherd Pre-K and Elementary School has carried out Fr. Tompson’s lifelong mission of helping and educating children in need. The Catholic school opened its doors just four months after Fr. Tompson’s death with the mission of educating children no matter their family’s financial situation. So far, GSS has graduated 219 students and currently serves 264 students.
GSS is opening a second campus in the Desire-Florida Community currently serving Kindergarten students with plans to expand to additional grades in the coming years. The new campus is being constructed in partnership with The Giving Hope Foundation and will be located at 3601 Desire Parkway.
GSS has 74 college-age graduates, more than 20 have already earned their college degrees and will be featured on the school’s ever growing GSS College Graduate Wall. Additionally, more than 40 GSS alumni are nearing their college graduations in the next few years. GSS graduates have attended 25 different colleges and universities throughout the United States, including nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities. GSS Graduates have majored in just about every available academic program including Aviation, Art, Biology, Communications, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Education, English, Kinesiology, Law, Math, Mechanical Engineering, Medicine, Nursing, Political Science, and Physical Therapy.
Currently, 145 GSS graduates are thriving academically in local area Catholic, private, public, and charter high schools. GSS graduates have attended 16 local Catholic schools with the most significant numbers at St. Augustine, Jesuit, Brother Martin, Archbishop Rummel, St. Katharine Drexel, Cabrini, St. Mary's Academy, Mount Carmel Academy, and De La Salle. GSS now has two graduates attending Holy Cross High School and two others enrolled at St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis.
Tickets for the event start at $125 and include an open bar and unlimited food. A limited number of sponsorships are available. For more information on the event, tickets and sponsorships, visit https://us.givergy.com/GSSGala. Officials say the renowned GSS “Dancing with the Stars” event will return in Fall 2023.

Children’s Hospital New Orleans and Downtown Development District Unveil Details for Inaugural New Orleans Holiday Parade
The Children’s Hospital Holiday Parade will roll Saturday, Dec. 3 in partnership with the Downtown Development District, NewOrleans.com and Kern Studios
NEW ORLEANS – At a news conference held at Mardi Gras World Thursday, Nov.10, details were unveiled for the first-of-its-kind Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade which will take place in downtown New Orleans Saturday, Dec. 3 starting at 3 p.m.
Kicking off the holiday season, the more than 20 float parade will include custom-designed holiday themed floats that include animatronic props, intelligent lighting systems, special effects and audio systems, along with traditional rider floats, bringing the joy and magic of the holiday season to thousands of parade-goers.
“Children’s Hospital is excited to help bring a world-class, kid and family-centered holiday parade to the City of New Orleans this December,” said John R. Nickens IV, President and CEO of Children’s Hospital New Orleans. “We invite the community to join us for an afternoon of joy and fun as we kickoff the holiday season together.”
The parade will also feature high-flying helium balloons displayed for the first-time in New Orleans, along with the beloved marching groups and bands that the citizens of New Orleans have come to love – and of course, Santa himself with his cast of holiday characters.
“New Orleans during the holidays is one of the most wonderful times of the year for our community,” said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. “The Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade is an exciting addition to all that our city has to offer for its citizens and visitors alike during this magical time of year. Come downtown and roll with us on Saturday, December 3 as we experience the joy of the holidays.”
The Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade is made possible in partnership with the Downtown Development District, NewOrleans.com, the French Market Corporation, WDSU and many other supporters. Float sponsors include B1 Bank, Chick-fil-A New Orleans, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, The National WWII Museum, Louisiana Feed Your Soul and Audacy.
"The Downtown Development District is pleased to continue its support of the City's Holiday Parade,” said Downtown Development District President and CEO Davon Barbour. “In partnering with Kern Studios, this year's parade will be bigger and better than ever with national exposure. We take our responsibility as advocates for the Downtown community very seriously and believe that this reimagining of the parade will serve as a significant economic boost to Downtown businesses."
The Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade will begin at the corner of Esplanade Avenue and North Peters Street, traveling North Peters to Decatur Street through the vibrant French Market toward Jackson Square and Oscar Dunn Park, where it will bring the joy and magic of the holiday season to life. The parade will then make its way back to North Peters, turning right on Canal Street, left on Baronne Street, traveling through downtown to Julia Street and ending along St. Charles Avenue in front of Lafayette Square, where the holiday festivities will continue from 5-7 p.m. with music from Rebirth Brass Band, food and more.
