NATIONAL GRAB SOME NUTS DAY
There are many "nut" days throughout the year such as National Almond Day, National Pistachio Day, and National Pecan Day, but August 3rd embraces them all. It's National Grab Some Nuts Day!
Defining a nut is tricky. Though botanically an almond and cashew aren't considered nuts, once they're in the can, it's hard to tell the difference. The same goes for walnuts and peanuts, even though they have the word "nut" in their names. Despite the confusion, these nuts, legumes, seeds, and drupes continue to find their way into our daily diets. Whether we add them to salads or into our baking, we love nuts. We're nutty for nuts!
Depending on the kind, they add necessary good fats to our diets. They're also full of minerals and nutrients we might otherwise be missing. In the right quantities, they improve our health and make things taste better, too. There's nothing too nutty about that.
These little bountiful nuggets contain beneficial nutrients, have a long shelf life, and can be quite portable. They add a nice crunch to snacks and desserts as well as satisfying meals. National Grab Some Nuts Day might seem a little squirrelly, but then again it's the right time of year for it. Go nuts and grab a few or a lot!

NATIONAL WATERMELON DAY
National Watermelon Day on August 3 recognizes the refreshing summertime treat enjoyed at picnics and fairs! And since watermelon is 92% water, it is very satisfying in the summer heat.
This vine-like flowering plant originated from southern Africa. While the word watermelon refers to both the fruit and the plant to botanists, the plant is a pepo. The pepo is a berry with a thick rind and fleshy center. Interestingly, pepos develop from an inferior ovary. They are also characteristic of the Cucurbitaceae, a scientific term for the gourd family.
While the watermelon fruit is loosely considered a type of melon, unlike other melons, it's not in the genus Cucumis. The smooth exterior usually produces a dark green rind with stripes or yellow spots. Watermelons produce a juicy, sweet interior flesh ranging from deep red to pink. However, sometimes it comes in orange, yellow, or white.
While melon holds plentiful water, wild melons tasted bland and bitter. This clue suggests that desert dwellers likely cultivated the first melon. The seeds and art found in the tombs of Pharaoh's supply additional clues to the watermelon's value. tombs of Pharaohs. Over time, cultivation and breeding brought out the better qualities of the sweet and tender fruit we enjoy today.
With proper growing conditions, watermelons grow to enormous sizes. Around the world, competitions award prizes each year for the largest one. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the heaviest watermelon weighed 262 pounds. To learn more refreshing watermelon facts, check out www.watermelon.org.

Tropical Depression 4 forms over Cuba as hurricane watch issued for parts of Florida
By JUSTIN MITCHELL
Tropical Depression 4 formed over Cuba on Saturday morning and is expected to strengthen further as it enters the warm Gulf of Mexico later in the day, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The storm system had winds of 30 mph at 7 a.m. Saturday and was moving west-northwest at 16 mph.
Tropical Depression 4 is expected to become Tropical Storm Debby later in the evening as it enters the Gulf before landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast early Monday morning, NHC forecasters say.
A hurricane watch has been issued for parts of western-central Florida and the Big Bend region. South of there, a tropical storm warning is in effect down the west coast of the state, including the Tampa Bay area. The Florida Keys are under a tropical storm watch.
Once the system makes landfall, it will move slowly over southern Georgia, then enter the Atlantic and border South Carolina's coast next week, according to the latest forecast.
Florida and parts of the southeastern U.S. should prepare for heavy rainfall, starting Saturday and lasting through Wednesday, that could result in local flash flooding and isolated river flooding, the NHC says.
"Life threatening" storm surge is possible along Florida's west coast, including in Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor. A storm surge watch is in effect. Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina could also see heavy rains, flash flooding and coastal storm surge through Wednesday, the NHC said.
The NHC says more watches and warnings could come later Saturday.

What a Wonderful Exhibit: Louis Armstrong’s Life in New Orleans
In this striking new exhibit, the New Orleans Jazz Museum offers a love letter to Louis Armstrong – just in time for Satchmo SummerFest.
– by Doug Brantley

For generations, Louis Armstrong has been synonymous with the Crescent City. From the international airport bearing his name to the Tremé park featuring his towering bronze likeness to the French Quarter’s New Orleans Jazz Museum, where each August the annual Satchmo SummerFest celebrates his birth, life and musical legacy, “little Louie” still looms large—both here and abroad—some 50-plus years after his death.
“Louis Armstrong is a pivotal figure in the history of modern music,” notes Jazz Museum director Greg Lambousy. “New Orleans is the Vienna of the 21st century in large measure because of his influence worldwide, embodying the music and culture of an endlessly interesting city.”
A special envoy for the U.S. State Department during the 1950s and ’60s, “Ambassador Satchmo” traveled the globe, winning over kings and commoners alike with his signature smile, trademark trumpet and waving white handkerchief, spreading the joy of New Orleans-born jazz and breaking through racial barriers of the day along the way.
Opening Aug. 1, the Jazz Museum’s new “Satchmo: Louis Armstrong’s Life in New Orleans” exhibit traces the beloved musician’s journey, from his ragtag beginnings “back o’ town” to his rise as a global culture icon, through a variety of artifacts and ephemera, including excerpts from his many manuscripts and massive collection of private audio recordings.
Born into poverty on Aug. 4, 1901, to help make ends meet, Armstrong spent his formative years selling newspapers, collecting salvage and delivering buckets of coal to Black Storyville prostitutes for the Karnofskys, a kind-hearted Jewish family with a shop on South Rampart.
Noting his musical leanings, the Karnofskys, who embraced young Louis as one of their own, taught him “to sing from the heart” and helped purchase his first horn, a cornet – which you’ll find on display in the exhibition.
Armstrong’s first horn belongs to the permanent collection on the New Orleans Jazz Museum and will be on display with the exhibit.
Armstrong’s big break came following his arrest at age 11 for firing a gun in the air outside of the Little Gem Saloon on New Year’s Eve, which landed him in the Colored Waifs’ Home for Boys. There, he fell under the tutelage of music director Peter Davis, who taught him both discipline and how to properly play the cornet, a talent later honed through the mentorship of Joe “King” Oliver who was heralded in the museum’s recent exhibit, “New Orleans Stomp.”
He was soon busking on street corners he’d formerly hawked papers from and performing with early brass bands in the city’s dance halls and honky-tonks. He would go on to replace Oliver, who moved to Chicago in 1918, in the Kid Ory Band. Armstrong followed a few years later to join Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band, broadening not only his musical influences but his worldview as well.
.
Chicago led to New York and the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, which led to recordings with fellow New Orleanian Sidney Bechet and blues greats Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, among others, including his own Hot Five band, which led to national tours, catapulting him to fame. Armstrong would not return to New Orleans until 1931.
But New Orleans’ now-favorite son wasn’t so warmly embraced back then. Greeted with great fanfare and jubilant crowds upon his arrival that June, Armstrong called it “the happiest day in my life.” His tune changed, however, a few days later.
Booked for a summerlong run at Suburban Gardens, a white’s-only club in Metairie, he packed the house with more than 5,000 opening-night attendees and an additional 10,000 Black fans listening from along the levee behind, with even more tuning into the show’s broadcast.
But despite his immense popularity, the evening’s announcer refused to introduce Armstrong because of the color of his skin. Undeterred, he took the stage and introduced himself, later claiming to have been the first Black man to speak live on New Orleans radio.
He revisited the city again for performances in 1938 and 1940, and famously in 1949 for Mardi Gras as king of the Zulu parade, which Armstrong recounts in a letter included in the exhibit. In between he toured Europe, played the Metropolitan Opera House and Carnegie Hall, appeared in numerous films, made his television debut, was featured on the cover of Time and purchased a house in Queens, N.Y., where he resided for the remainder of his life.
Though he held his hometown near and dear (often signing letters “Red Beans and Ricely Yours”), by the mid-1950s Armstrong swore off performing here altogether due to Jim Crow laws and restrictions, which prohibited his long-integrated band from playing together. “I’m accepted all over the world,” he told the Times-Picayune in 1959, “and when New Orleans accepts me, I will go home.”
That did not happen until 1965—following the passage of the Civil Rights Act, his Grammy win for “Hello Dolly” and the razing of Armstrong’s childhood home to make way for a new police complex—with a sole performance at Loyola University’s Field House. He would return only twice more before his death in 1971.
Armstrong with Don Marquis at the Blue Note in Chicago, 1951. Marquis was a noted jazz author and founder of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.
“Armstrong knew what it meant to miss New Orleans,” wrote frequent Satchmo Fest speaker Ricky Riccardi, director of research collections at the Queens-based Louis Armstrong House Museum, in a recent essay. “To love New Orleans, to celebrate New Orleans, to be hurt by New Orleans and to hate New Orleans—but through it all, he knew that in many ways, he was New Orleans, with all of its complexities.”
Armstrong’s relationship with the city was a fraught and fractured one, not unlike that of New Orleans musicians and expats who fled for higher ground and greener pastures following that other August anniversary in 2005. The place that bore and raised him, his lover and muse, had also scorned and betrayed him.
During Katrina, a large section of roofing from the Old U.S. Mint, in which the Jazz Museum is housed, was torn away and mangled by the destructive winds that forever changed New Orleans. It took some time to patch up and repair, but by the following year, modern-day jazz greats were back on the Mint’s grounds performing Armstrong classics, as they will again Aug. 3-4 during this year’s SummerFest.
Meanwhile, indoors on the Legacy Stage, Riccardi and other Satchmo scholars will sing his praises just steps away from the new exhibit, chronicling his lasting impact on the city and the world.
More than a century after he first departed, “Little Louie” has come home. It’s so nice to have you back where you belong.
Note: The New Orleans Jazz Museum collaborates with the Louis Armstrong Music Academy to teach students about the music and its important history that is indigenous to New Orleans, as well as traditional and contemporary jazz and blues. The joint program instills in students awareness of the role that jazz has played historically and socially. Working with leading New Orleans music educators, the Teaching Artists provide arts integration on Jazz and New Orleans Brass Band music, strengthening existing school music programs with individual and ensemble-based instruction.

WHAT: Satchmo SummerFest presented by the New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund (NOTCF) returns for its 24th year on August 3 and 4 at the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint with more than two dozen musical performances, seven food vendors, and special events to the community for FREE!

The Satchmo Legacy Stage in Honor of Joni Berry will feature extraordinary sessions like “Back O’ Town Blues” – The Anatomy of A Beloved Louis Armstrong Classic by Paul Kahn & Catherine Russell. This discussion will explore Armstrong’s beloved classic tune “Back O’ Town Blues,” which is used as a metaphor to explore both the transformative nature of Satchmo’s artistry and the politics of music publishing. Performance film footage and rare archival materials from the Catherine Russell collection, saved by her father, Luis Russell, co-writer of the tune, will illuminate the story.
Attendees can beat the heat with complimentary neck-chillers courtesy of Chill at the Fest powered by Entergy New Orleans. In addition to the newly launched exhibition dedicated to Satchmo, more performances will occur inside the museum. The New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Piano Sessions will also be available on the second floor for guests to enjoy and cool down from outdoor activities.

A popular West Bank skating rink reopens after three-year closure due to Hurricane Ida

A West Bank skating rink reopened for business Thursday following a nearly three-year closure due to Hurricane Ida damage.
Skate Country, located at 1100 Terry Parkway in Terrytown, hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugurate its comeback from Hurricane Ida, which tore the roof off the building and ruined the facility inside.
The business invested $1.1 million in renovations, including a $100,000 loan from the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission’s Growth Fund.
It’s been a vital entertainment venue for people of the West Bank since it launched in 1979, said Councilman Marion Edwards. The owner, Bobby Ricouard, said the skate rink has provided Terrytown’s youth with a safe place to hang with friends on the weekends.
“I have skaters that from a little age have been here for a long time and now are adults,” Rigaud said. “One of them came to me and said, ‘Mr. Bobby, if it wasn’t for y’all, I’d probably be dead or in jail.’”
The relaunch also created 40 new part-time positions for the parish, JEDCO said.
The new Skate Country featured a wall of brand new skates against bright neon, ‘80s-style carpeting lined around the rink’s exterior. Following the ribbon cutting, skaters took to the cobalt blue wood floor, with experienced skaters twirling under the black lights while beginners gripped the walls for dear life.

Six-year-old Quinn Lapeyrouse donned pastel pink light-up skates and knee pads as she clutched a skate trainer made of PVC pipe. It was her first time visiting the rink since she was two, she recalled.
She started out in the smaller children’s rink to get comfortable before graduating to the larger stage.
“I love skating now because I know how to do it!” she emphatically stated as she walked out the rink with her mother.
Skate Country is open from 8-11 p.m. on Thursdays, 7-10 p.m. on Fridays and from 1-10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Admission prices range from $8 to $15, and skate rentals are $5.
Skate Country’s schedule offers the following events:
- “Adult Night” from 8-11 p.m. Thursdays
- “Top Music Chart Night” from 7-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday
- “Family Matinee” from 1-3:30 p.m. and 4-6:30 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
- “Sunday Night Skate” from 7-10 p.m. Sunday.
Skate Country also offers lessons and private party packages.
“[Skate Country] has been a gathering spot for families, a training ground for athletes, and a safe haven for young,” said Ronald Johnson, a skater and ambassador for Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club. “We have seen generations glide across the smooth surface, from children taking their first wobbly steps to adults reliving their youth in every lap around the rink.”

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that can cause involuntary daytime sleep. People with narcolepsy may fall asleep suddenly and without warning during activities like driving, eating, or talking. This is because narcolepsy is related to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which normally occurs later in the sleep cycle, but in people with narcolepsy can happen almost immediately or even while they're awake.

'Shot girls,' drummers and golf carts, beware: A French Quarter vendor crackdown is coming
Local officials say increased enforcement is response to community desire for 'safe, welcoming environment'
By GABRIELLA KILLETT
A drummer plays a beat on the bottom of a bucket. Such performers will be swept out of the French Quarter as the NOPD cracks down on illegal vending.
New Orleans police are preparing a major crackdown in the French Quarter on unlicensed vending, illegal parking, bucket drummers, panhandling and other "nuisance behavior," part of a broader push ahead of next year's Super Bowl to target quality-of-life issues that have long plagued many city residents and tourists.
The effort, led by the New Orleans Police Department's Eighth District, the Louisiana State Police Troop Nola and the city's health department, is expected to begin next week, according to internal NOPD documents.
It entails regular sweeps by two multi-agency teams on Canal Street and throughout the French Quarter that will check vendor licenses, disperse people asking for money, monitor decibel levels, ticket golf carts and take other steps to enforce rules in the downtown neighborhood.
A drummer plays a beat on the bottom of a bucket. Such performers will be swept out of the French Quarter as the NOPD cracks down on illegal vending.
NOPD officials are aiming to "make the Eighth District a nuisance-free environment for all residents, businesses, tourists and stakeholders to enjoy and feel safe in the area," according to the documents.
The NOPD confirmed their plans to conduct bi-weekly multi-agency sweeps in the French Quarter in an email Friday afternoon, saying officials are responding to requests from the community and "are committed to upholding this law to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone."
Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the operation.
City Hall and the NOPD have made sweeps in recent months in the French Quarter and other nightlife areas like St. Claude Avenue. But the latest push appears to be much broader in scope than those sporadic endeavors, and comes as Troop Nola, the new state police unit in the city, has become an assertive presence on New Orleans' streets.
Some business owners and residents in the neighborhood have cheered efforts to enforce quality-of-life rules, arguing that lawlessness in the always raucous quarter has gotten out of hand since the pandemic. Critics, however, worry that the enforcement push will go too far in targeting the devil-may-care nature of the Vieux Carré that is part of its charm.
"They're restricting our ability to practice what we believe," said Bill Marshall, a tarot card reader who typically sets up on Bourbon Street for business. "They're creating enemies where they should have friends."
Golf carts and exotic animals
The French Quarter has long featured a mélange of buskers, vendors, retailers and entertainers with and without official permits to operate. But since the pandemic arrived four years ago, notable changes have taken place. For instance, unlicensed golf carts for hire now cruise around downtown. Residents and business owners say the number of "shot girls" who sell sugary alcoholic concoctions on the street have increased, as have unlicensed entertainers carrying exotic animals or other attractions.
The Cantrell administration has been criticized for not focusing enough on enforcement, graffiti, broken streetlights, crumbling sidewalks and other issues, which contributed to dismal responses to quality-of-life surveys and approval ratings in recent years.
Part of the issue was that an understaffed police force was struggling to control violent crime and had little time for nonviolent, quality-of-life complaints. But with the number of murders and other violent incidents tumbling, new NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick has promised a shift in strategy.
And City Hall — along with business leaders — is intent on putting a spit shine on tourist-heavy areas before Super Bowl LVIII comes to the Caesars Superdome in February.
Troop Nola launched a French Quarter quality-of-life sweep ahead of the Essence Festival of Culture in July, but according to documents reviewed by The Times-Picayune, the coming effort will be more than just a one-off.
With the help of state police, the NOPD will kick off sweeps as early as Wednesday, Aug. 7. Another sweep could take place Aug. 10 and the task force has an open-ended commitment to continue doing them regularly.
NOPD officers, Troop Nola officers, parking enforcement personnel and tow trucks will make up "Multi-Utility Team 1" of the NOPD's sweep effort, according to the documents.
NOPD officers, state troopers, Bourbon Street Promenade officers and Alcohol and Tobacco Control agents and the health department's decibel meter reader will make up "Multi-Utility Team 2", which will stay concentrated on Bourbon Street and surrounding areas.
For Jackson Square artist Joy Kinney, the sweeps will be a good thing if they can help with noise control, she said. Sounds from across the square all hours of the day make it hard for her to focus and engage with customers.
"It's your freedom of speech to do that anywhere except for the space mandated by the city for that occupation," Kinney said.
Kinney said she's grateful the sweeps could mean she and her fellow artists no longer have to police the area themselves. Still, Kinney said, she hopes law enforcement will use "common sense policing" and not disrupt people who aren't "hurting anyone."
"I'm not the sheriff," Kinney said. "I'm just somebody that this is my livelihood."
Nuisance complaints, according to the NOPD's source material, consist of bucket drummers, panhandlers on Bourbon and Canal Streets, illegal pop-up shops, "shot girls," curfew enforcement and noise violations. Traffic enforcement will focus on booting, towing and parking tickets.
The mission of the sweeps is to "eradicate illegal vending and negative quality of life issues in the Eighth Police District," according to the presentation.
The teams will "follow the trends and patterns" of violations in the area as they plan upcoming sweeps, which won't occur on any particular timeline. Other agencies involved in the effort are the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office, New Orleans Fire Department, the Taxicab Bureau, the French Quarter Management District and the Downtown Development District.
Marshall, 49, who's worked as a tarot, palm and runes reader professionally for 16 years, said Friday that the sweeps are unnecessary and damaging. Since being moved out of the spot where he typically sets up shop, his income has dropped significantly, he said.
"It comes down to a choice. Do I pay rent, or do I eat?" he said.
For Marshall, it feels like the city is also taking cultural experiences away from its visitors who love to see readers for spiritual advising.
"I can't trust my city to actually listen to the tourism," he said.

NATIONAL JAMAICAN PATTY DAY
National Jamaican Patty Day on the first Saturday in August celebrates a delicious turnover-style pastry. Be sure to enjoy one wherever you are!
Filled with a variety of fillings, Jamaican patties satisfy hunger with seasoned ground beef, chicken, seafood, or vegetables. Made into a half-moon shape, the flaky crust provides a delicious package. While usually spicy, milder stuffings please those who are faint of heart.
Since the Jamaican Patty is similar to an English Cornish Pastry, it should be no surprise recipes for the dish hails from there. Many even suggest that the pastry came to Jamaica during the colonial days, bearing some resemblance to the Spanish empanada.
Among Jamaicans, the patty serves as a quick grab-n-go meal or snack. A typical person eats a patty or two for lunch while in school or at work. Meanwhile, the patty also works well as a hot and nutritious snack. And when paired with a coco-bread it becomes a belly-filling and satisfying meal in itself.

Jerrytt Mon
Neighborhood Watch: This is North Galvez (in the 1300 Block) at Esplanade Avenue, where Sierra's Bar is seen from both the 1940's and of course not around today. The bar had it classic double-wooden doors, A traditional Jax Beer sign of the times was "a-hangin'", and life is outside with families, bus-a-waitin' citizens, a gallery atop the bar for which most store-owners lived. Also the "stop signs" are striped as though it was a barber shop nearby.

Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!
Starts at The Contemporary Arts Center!
6-7pm Intro to Swing
For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.
7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level
This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.
No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, August 5
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.
The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.
Here's how the slate shapes up:
- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)

The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.

The New Orleans Saints will host two open training camp practices for fans once they return from California later this summer.
The Saints announced Monday that the two sessions will take place Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University and at Caesars Superdome, respectively. The times of the practices and fan information will be revealed later.
The announcement came as part of the Saints’ unveiling of their training camp schedule. With the Saints holding camp at the University of California, the Saints will leave for Irvine on Monday, July 22 and stay out west until Aug. 19.
When in Irvine, the Saints will hold two days joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 in leadup to their Aug. 18 preseason showdown at San Francisco. The Saints also have another preseason game a week earlier, when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Aug. 10.
The Saints are holding their camp in California this year because of construction updates to their practice facility in Metairie. The team is building a new cafeteria, which is expected to be completed in the fall. Saints officials have said the team’s camp in Irvine will be a one-off, with the plan to have camp at the team’s facility next year.
Practices begin Wednesday, July 24.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

New Orleans: The New Orleans Jazz Museum is more than a building; it is a living embodiment of New Orleans Jazz culture and music in New Orleans. This is due to the vision of one person: Greg Lambousy, Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.
Through Greg Lambousy and his staff’s efforts, the New Orleans Jazz Museum has become the epicenter of the New Orleans Jazz scene. From festivals like the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival, Satchmo Summerfest, Jazz on the Balcony, Weekly free Jazz performances, and the most significant exhibits relative to New Orleans and early Jazz history presented in the correct cultural context, the City of New Orleans.
To paraphrase the great Professor Longhair, “When you come to New Orleans, be sure to go see the New Orleans Jazz Museum.”.
Presentation, 7:30 PM, August 23 at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center, 1225 N. Rampart St, NOLA. Free Admission RSVP preferred to: festguide@gmail
Greg Lambousy is the Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Before accepting this position, Lambousy was Director of Curatorial Services for the National World War II Museum. He began his career at the New Orleans Museum of Art and later moved to the Louisiana State Museum (LSM). During his twenty-year tenure at the LSM, Lambousy managed the institution’s collections of more than 500,000 artifacts and other historical items, directed improvements to collections storage at the New Orleans Mint, developed conservation and digitization projects across collections and within the Louisiana Historical Center archives, conducted oral histories and guided the selection and accession of materials related to the State’s history. Since 2016, as Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum, Lambousy has led the expansion of the Museum in programming, education, exhibitions, international relations, and the development of the Gallatin Street Records label. Visitation has increased fourfold since 2016, and revenues from grants, sponsorships, and events have funded operations, while capital programs have advanced the development of the Museum’s Performance Center and Herb Alpert Education Wing, among other aspects of the Museum’s campus

It’s Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s Manchac & Middendorf’s Slidell! Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September, handmade paper-thin fettuccine is on the menu.
This mouth-watering dish is served with your choice of classic Alfredo or Marinara Sauce and topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with optional add-ons of shrimp, crabmeat and chicken.
- Fettuccine with Alfredo Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Fettuccine with Marinara Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Optional add-ons:
- Shrimp
- Crabmeat
- Chicken
- Side of Fettuccine topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
Fun Facts:
- Our handmade, paper-thin fettuccine was a guest favorite at Bella Luna in the French Quarter. Bella Luna was a fine dining restaurant owned and operated by Horst and Karen Pfeifer. It closed due to Hurricane Katrina and never reopened. The memory of Bella Luna lives on through Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s. Same Pasta. Same Taste. None of the Fancy.
- Middendorf’s Owner and European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer makes the fettuccine from scratch which consists solely of Semolina flour and eggs. It’s a very time consuming process to make the fettuccine so paper-thin, but it’s definitely worth it.
- Fettuccine is available all day (lunch and dinner).
- Our full menu is also available.
- Uncooked fettuccine is also available for purchase to make a quick meal at home.
We hope you can join us for Fettuccine Frenzy — Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September!
