@skooks That’s the same knee-grab my grandpa used to do whenever he told me something he thought was really funny. The Congressman’s reacting the same way I used to.

We now offer bike lock check out! Library staff regularly noticed people having to leave their bikes unlocked outside when the would visit the Library; and, with bikes serving as so many people’s primary method of transportation, the staff knew something needed to be done.

In the early history of New Orleans, women overcame a lack of political clout to own business and make their mark on the city. A new exhibit at the main public library showcases the contributions of women to the city's economy during its first 100 years. https://t.co/m1wBtCWtmB

@nolacampanella @JustinNystrom That airfield is where my dad first arrived in New Orleans in the 1940s, as a fresh-faced ensign reporting for duty on a destroyer docked at the Algiers navy base.

New Orleans historical researchers:
what's the oldest *primary source* you can find making reference to Cafe du Monde, either as a local coffee brand or a cafe/stand in the French Market? (The popular understanding, of course, is the company was founded in 1862.)
