- Two contrasting views are offered on Kenner Mayor Mike Yenni's first community meeting on his $47 million plan to refinance municipal debt and 10-part package of improvements for major thoroughfares. The administration's take is predictably warm, blogger Walt Bennetti's reliably negative.
- Over at the Library Chronicles, blogger "jeffrey" mulls East Jefferson's debate over changing the Mardi Gras parade route, seeing it as a sign of Metairie Carnival's "identity crisis. It is less popular and less sure of itself that it has been in decades, and this is a direct reflection of the decline of the suburban ideal writ large."
- On the topic of parade standards, Sheriff Newell Normand told WGNO: "If you're not strong enough financially, you're not strong enough as a krewe to meet the minimum requirements, you have no business parading. If you don't meet the minimum requirements by the deadlines that are imposed by the parish ordinance, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office is not going to be on the street."
- The Fat City food truck festival, an effort to inject new life into Metairie's former nightlife district, is set Monday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Location: 18th Street and Edenborn Avenue.
