Big Time in New Orleans
The bar has anchored this corner in the French Quarter of New Orleans for more than 150 years, and very little has changed — no neon, no Jagermeister machine, not a naked-lady-shaped novelty cup or set of plastic beads in sight. Though it’s still morning, time was when I would belly up to this old, cypress bar — there has never been a barstool in Tujague’s, ever — set my foot on the bowed brass rail and begun the day’s chase.

Winston-Salem Municipalities Grapple With New Carry-concealed Law
Hanes Park in the city’s West End Historic District displayed a weathered sign at its West End Boulevard entrance that stated, “No weapons or fireworks.” However, under House Bill 650, a law that went into effect on Dec. 1, people with carry-concealed permits are now permitted to bring concealed weapons into municipal parks in North Carolina with the exception of swimming pools, playgrounds and athletic facilities. To inform the public of the change in the law, the city has ordered more than 300 signs at a cost of $7,600.
