Jefferson Parish trying to change Fat City
(AP) METAIRIE, La. – They’ve tried for decades to rehabilitate, re-imagine and remake Fat City, only to see the Metairie nightlife district stubbornly cling to its rough and rowdy ways. So Jefferson Parish officials now are trying a more persistent, relentless approach.
An ambitious plan is in the works to impose new zoning standards gradually eliminating strip clubs and converting Fat City into a pleasant town center appealing to families, shoppers and diners. It likely won’t be implemented until late this year, but in the meantime, Parish Councilwoman Cynthia Lee-Sheng, whose district includes the neighborhood, is using the parish’s alcohol permit rules to target Fat City bars.
In March, the Parish Council revived a committee that hadn’t met since the 1980s to review the alcohol permit of the Forum Club, a bar at 3208 N. Arnoult Road where sheriff’s deputies made a series of arrests for underage drinking. The council then denied the bar’s permit in April, at Lee-Sheng’s urging.

The new codes will call for phasing out the district’s remaining strip clubs. They will impose the new standards as businesses change hands and reopen under different formats.

It’s ironic that “symposium” is what the besotted ancient Greeks called a drinking party, which hardly is the usage the sober NFL had in mind when it opened its mandatory four-day Rookie Symposium this week at La Costa. You can guess the topical punch cocktail the incoming freshmen were forced to imbibe.
Above all, represent The League, not the U.S. penal system.
Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right. Don’t hang out with or emulate the wrong people, like Tiger Woods or Jesse James. Don’t do steroids. Don’t take supplements from strangers. Don’t drink to excess and drive. Stay out of strip clubs that aren’t NFL-sanctioned. Be kind to dogs. Don’t say stupid things. Read and reread the cliché handbook (foreword by Roger Goodell). Don’t beat up your wives, girlfriends and dates. Don’t ask, don’t tell. Don’t bring weapons into locker rooms. Change your diapers before going to bed.

There’s a scene in episode three of the HBO series “Treme”—David Simon’s TV drama depiction of post-flood New Orleans—wherein Antoine Batiste, the itinerant trombonist played by Wendell Pierce, walks through the French Quarter after playing at a Bourbon Street strip club. It’s a gig he took only reluctantly, out of need, from the slim pickings around in New Orleans in late 2005. He’s tired, maybe a little drunk, and carrying his horn, sans case. He pauses before two street musicians on the corner of Royal and St. Peter streets, in front of Rouses Market. Energized by the version of “Ghost of a Chance” played by a pretty young violinist (Annie, portrayed by Lucia Micarelli) and a gangly young pianist (Sonny, actor Michiel Huisman), he sings a verse, nods in approval of Annie’s improvisation, then turns and half-staggers into the night. His trombone grazes the side-view mirror of a police car parked nearby. Then, in a rush—“Hey, you tryin’ to bust up our unit?” shouts one cop—Antoine is up against a wall, his instrument slammed to the ground by an officer. A minor beat-down and arrest follow.

… For three years — or as long as you allow Mike D’Antoni to coach the team — imagine how much fun you will have playing in his madcap offensive system.
“That first year you wouldn’t even have to deliver a championship, because that first year will be a honeymoon year. There actually will be more pressure on you in Cleveland, which thought last year was the year.
“I heard some radio talk recently about your alleged aversion to Tabloid Central here. I trust you’ve chatted with A-Rod about this, because the two of you count Warren Buffett among your filthy-rich friends. A-Rod wasn’t Jeter, wasn’t Mr. October, wasn’t wearing a shirt in Central Park, wasn’t steroid-free, wasn’t happy on the road without a stripper — and had his life plastered all over the New York Post, front page and backpage.

The recipe is simple: take eight youngsters, aged around 20, and let them discover themselves and each other during the episodes of the show. Let’s see who do we have this season.
Ryan Knight is a youngster from Wisconsin, recovering from a prescription pain medication addiction. Jemmye Carroll is an atypical Southern girl from Mississippi. Preston Roberson-Charles, who thinks Jemmye has a stripper look, definitely. McKenzie Coburn, the resident girl, who blacks out easily when drinking. Ashlee Feldman from Boston with her Angelina Jolie lips. Eric Patrick, working for the State Department in foreign relations and being a comedian at the same time. Sahar Dika, from Dearborne, who has grown up in an Arab community and who Eric has a crush on. And last, but not least, Ryan Leslie, who is a hairdresser from Arizona and has an emotional over-active personality.

A popular video on YouTube spoofs Cleveland tourism, proclaiming, “We’re Not Detroit.” That’s the truth. With one of the highest rates of unemployment and crime in America, Detroit will truly foster a real world for cast-members. Producers can set them up in a huge house for cheap, due to collapsing real estate, and watch them flounder for employment. For good times, there are always great rock shows and parties in abandoned buildings.
Portland, Oregon
Surprisingly, MTV has never set a season in this hip city full of young people. Maybe it’s because Portlanders would hate it. Known for liberal activism, locals would protest in front of the house and actively hate ‘The Real World’ cast. They’ll be shown the ugly side of fame first. Plus, the unemployment rate is around 12 percent. The only likely jobs will be at a book store or strip club. Portland has the highest number per capita of both in the United States. Which cast member will go where?

At last report BP was making progress on the relief wells that are being drilled to plug the runaway well in the Gulf. The London Times reports that BP hopes to penetrate the casing of the leaking well and start pumping in well-sealing mud in about two weeks. Let’s hope something works.
In the next few weeks, or if things do not go well, perhaps months, the leaking well will be plugged, fishing hopefully will resume, the tourists will return, and the whole matter will be left to lawyers who will spend decades arguing how much New Orleans strip clubs that lost business during the oil spill should be remunerated by BP.
Someday, however, it will become apparent that the real disaster is taking place 150 miles to the south at BP’s multi-billion dollar Thunder Horse oil platform that was supposed to extract a billion barrels of oil at a rate of 250,000 barrels a day (b/d). Production at Thunder Horse began in May of 2008 …

Get ready for some Southern-style hospitality and serious socializing (read: hard partying), because the ‘Real World’ is back, y’all, and it’s headed for New Orleans.
The 24th season of MTV’s long-running reality show premieres Wednesday, June 30 (10PM ET) with a new cast of eight young adults thrown together in a big, fancy house for a few months of fun, volunteering, self-exploration and countless nights of carousing. And New Orleans, take two, might just be a comeback for ‘The Real World,’ which has seen ratings and interest drop in recent seasons.
This season’s crop of housemates is a diverse bunch from across the country, including a hockey enthusiast from Wisconsin, a liberal Muslim from Michigan, a self-made Bostonian and a surprisingly progressive Mississippi native who also enjoys strutting her stuff in so-called “stripper heels.” Among the rowdy lot are firebrands and peacemakers, pretty girls and rambunctious guys.
