Is there anyone out there involved in the NolaWise...
I am interested in speaking with anyone who has had any work done at their house through the NolaWise Program.  I had an energy audit done by them at no charge and am looking for feedback on the quality of work done by the recommended contractors.  Does anyone have any info?

Sewerage & Water Board will rectify the problem (for FREE) if you simply call their Emergency Hotline at 529-2837 (press option 1).  Be prepared to give an address and nearest cross street. S&WB...

Copper Thieves Strike Utility Poles on Nashville
A survey of utility poles along Nashville Avenue revealed that nearly half of them are missing important ground wires.  How about the one(s) near you? Evidently, copper thieves cut the heavy gauge cables - typically the bottom 7 feet or so - to sell for quick cash at scrap yards.  The problem, which can lead to serious fire hazards when lightning strikes, has been reported to Entergy, who will...

Petition CapitalOne Bank to add exterior...
I encourage others to call or write CapitalOne to request that they add security devices outside the University branch office, in case any more customers get held up.  The last time it happened (last month), no video of the incident was recorded! (They replied, acknowledging the need for more security of this type at that location.)
