Morgan Molthrop is writing a book called 300 Reasons to Love New Orleans. He has to hand the manuscript in tomorrow. As Happy Hour kicks off he s gotten the list up to 290. He needs another 10 reasons to love New Orleans in the next 60 minutes. It would be good if we could avoid associating all the reasons to love New Orleans with alcohol, especially given Morgan s other venture, Soberleans a guide to the city for recovering alcoholics and addicts. The non imbibing New Orleanian might be a rare beast but Morgan s cornered the market on the concept in the rest of the country as well. It s a wonder Erin Casey Hangartner s career hasn t driven her to drink. Or worse. Erin is an attorney whose early career had her working in the DA s office where she prosecuted children. Yes, children These days she has her own law firm , and her parallel career as a die hard rabid Saints fan. Today marks the day she s changing her whole life and career. Look out for her at the Grammy s. Carrying on the tradition of giving a forum to the greatest musicians in New Orleans, check out Samantha Pearl. Samantha plays on the streets in the French Quarter and has played on the streets all across the country. If you think that street musicians are a lesser breed than those you see in bars and clubs, Samantha will upend your expectations. She s one of the one most talented musicians you ll hear anywhere in New Orleans and that s saying something. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon.

Morgan Molthrop fell in love with Greek history at Newman high school and has parlayed that love into a model for his and your life. Morgan s hero, Alexander the Great who is actually a Greek superhero who died in 323 BC at the age of 33 not a Russian Tsar is the inspiration for just about everything in Morgan s current life. He s written a book about him, painted paintings, and has a 13 step plan for successful living for you to follow so you too can be Alex great. Boyanna Trayanova went to Ben Franklin. She didn t fall in love with any Greek gods but she did fall in love with the seminal New Orleans drummer Johnny Vidacovich. Boyanna is a fearsome drummer and leader of One Love Brass Band, a New Orleans brass band take on ska and reggae. Renee Blanchard started out after college working to bring democracy to Burma, and to get toxic chemicals out of cell phones. Having succeeded at both of those goals she came back to New Orleans. And opened Church Alley Coffee Bar on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. Now she s moving to Mid City and might possibly get that magnolia tattoo on her shoulder finished. Renee is, by the way, bossy.

Jeanne reviews where New Orleans and its communities stands in its recovery 10 years after the storm — and compares the city’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina to its recovery from Hurricane Betsy; with Kim Ford, Executive Director of the L9 Resilience Festival, and Ro Brown, former WDSU sports anchor and Sports Director at WBOK-AM. Then, Monique Moss, choreographer and artistic director at Third Eye Theatre, promotes “9th Ward Improv Opera,” an interdisciplinary performance work to commemorate Katrina 10. Finally, author and New Orleans local Morgan Molthrop promotes a planned art installation in Mid-City to commemorate the storm; and actor and former City Councilman Oliver Thomas calls in to join the panel.
Morgan Molthrop grew up in a New Orleans caste society which ultimately drove him to New York, Italy, Greece, crimes of fashion, and finally back to New Orleans and into Triple A. Not the roadside car repair people, Agnostic Alcoholics Anonymous. Morgan has some of the greatest stories ever told in a New Orleans bar. And that s saying something. Judy Bolton s life has taken her on a similar trajectory to Morgan s. Sort of. Judy started out in medicine in Washington State before moving to New Orleans and opening the 90 s iconic Pussycat Caverns and later today s equally iconic Bacchanal. Somewhere in the middle of all that Judy found herself spending 3 years in Bourbon Street strip clubs where she discovered that once in a while a girl just gets lucky. And then she goes on vacation.
