Janet Mcconnaughey Associated Press Published 1:03 p.m. UTC Jul 27, 2018 New Orleans – About a year after moving into spacious new digs in New Orleans, African animals are doing just what officials from two zoos had hoped when they created the forested paddocks: being fruitful and multiplying. Seven antelope have given birth, at least one more female is pregnant and others may be. The small herds wander in 3- to 46-acre swaths of forest, marking a partnership between the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and San Diego Zoo Global. The zoos’ Alliance for Sustainable Wildlife is aimed at preserving endangered species and producing popular species for zoos. It’s housed at the Audubon Nature Institute’s Species Survival Center in New Orleans, where the first hoofed animals arrived last spring and summer. “Because we’re closed to the public, it offers a place that’s a lot quieter” than zoos, and large enclosures allow more natural, larger herds … [Read more...] about Animal baby boom at New Orleans zoo

Aerosmith packs ‘em in at New Orleans Jazz Fest
NEW ORLEANS — Aerosmith drew a huge crowd and smaller but still packed crowds boogied to Cage the Elephant, Delbert McClinton and Anita Baker and a rousing mix of other musical acts as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival wound up its next-to-last day. Once a relatively small affair, the festival now in its 49th year draws hundreds of thousands of people to a 7-day celebration of all things music, reflecting the rich diversity of a river city now celebrating its tri-centennial. There was jazz, of course, but also Cajun, zydeco, roots rock, African rhythms, Latin groups and traditional music from Canada to the Republic of Congo. Sweating, swaying and so packed at times that they could hardly move, the people singing along to Aerosmith’s “Sweet Misery” and “Living on the Edge” had no choice but to surrender to the experience. “There’s nowhere to go, no way to get there. It’s like critical density,” said Jeff Baker of Fort … [Read more...] about Aerosmith packs ‘em in at New Orleans Jazz Fest

A Speed Camera In New Orleans Keeps Ticketing This Guy’s Parked Car
Traffic cameras are bad. They are almost always naked schemes to raise government revenue, as opposed to devices that are intended to improve safety and driver behavior. Sometimes, though, they are bad for simpler reasons, like a traffic camera in New Orleans that has been giving speeding tickets to parked cars. The camera in question is on Canal Boulevard in the city’s Lakeview neighborhood, according to WWL. The camera mistakenly snapped the photo of resident Donald Schulz’s license plate on his 2017 Nissan Frontier nearly a dozen times since 2011, instead of, he says, the actual speeding car rolling by. Schulz says he’s successfully gotten the tickets overturned, but each time it’s a trip to city hall. More troubling, the tickets were authorized by actual humans. From WWL: NOPD officers signed off on these tickets before sending the fines out. “Whoever is responsible for reviewing these violations is not doing their job,” Schulz said. The City … [Read more...] about A Speed Camera In New Orleans Keeps Ticketing This Guy’s Parked Car
