Just another morning commute

This morning while approaching the light at St. Charles at the bridge, I found myself distacted by what looked like an economy size spill of powdered scrambled eggs with a slight off-putting color to them. I always tell myself I will blog, so I try to snap a picture on my cell phone.




As I continue my forward movement, I realize something is missing.

Someone wiped out the light at Calliope and St. Charles. Again. The last time was the weekend of March 6, not even a month ago. I first noticed this on Saturday the 7th and by Tuesday the 10th the light was back in business. I was amazed because this was the fastest light replacement I have ever seen in the city of New Orleans. However, that intersection does have the potential to be extremely dangerous, you know, with the streetcar and all.

What will the turn around be this time? And who is the culprit twice in one month?!

Causeway shut down.

Causeway bridge northbound shut down.

Authorities have shut down the northbound lanes of the Causeway Bridge, according to Causeway police.

Early reports indicate someone may have jumped off the bridge a little after 8 a.m. Causeway officials said only that there was an incident on that side of the bridge.

Was wondering why the bridge was shut down...it appeared to start moving again shortly after 9 AM.

* C. Ray still swears he wants to be governor, and doesn't want to be a congressman. Democratic friends, be warned - ALTR suspects that America's most famous mayor will publicly state that he's thinking about the governor's race, then change his mind and use your money to run for Congress.
