Mr. Ricca passed
Ricca’s carries original and reproduction of cast iron and wood architectural features and caters to the city of New Orleans. You might imagine how important they have been as people have tried to rebuild their homes in post-Katrina times. Mr. Ricca, 57 years old, died in his sleep. A sad day for the city.
Read an article that said bloggers who plug products should disclose if they are being compensated to keep the integrity of blogs intact. Do we have integrity? Meanwhile don’t go see Lost City – it is typical Andy Garcia drivel – except the music is fabulous – so buy the CD and skip the film. That’s my anti-plug for the day.
Here’s my plug – try Romney Pilates – I was going to Uncle Joe’s – which is great, but almost a little cultish – Romney is just as disciplined without the attitude. Plus you can always eat at La Boulangerie after you finished working off 150 calories (so that entitles you to what?).
For doing renovations or building in the city here is my hit list from what I have learned on the LaLa:
Dependable and good work: Earl Stephens Electric, George’s Plumbing, Bud Logan Contractor, Trahan & Associates Builders, Cast Enterprises Alarm, Jericho (footings), Metal Window Corp (CA).
Do not recommend: Schild Construction, Jaco Construction (sheetrock), A-1 Home Improvement
More to come – off to Hotlanta…..
