Today, Charles shares his work as a PhD in Urban Studies who conducted extensive research on the history and development of New Orleans East. We explore the East's rise as a suburban hub, its decline due to economic and social factors, and the ongoing challenges it faces. Charles explains how his dissertation aims to dispel misconceptions and create an accurate narrative about the area's potential for revitalization. We dive into the historical shifts, including the East's transformation into a predominantly Black middle-class community, the unfulfilled promises of revitalization, and its significance as a gateway to the city. Together, we discuss actionable steps needed to change the narrative and create meaningful investment in this vital part of New Orleans.

Opponents argue that the overpass' removal would cause great inconvenience to the residents of New Orleans East and potentially require unwanted and intrusive expansion of the I-610 corridor.

While that troop may have been based in New Orleans East, Anna found that its tentacles reached outside of the city.

Colin Arnold joins Tommy to talk about the fire in New Orleans East and how it's impacted traffic and the city. 

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 24, 2023 is: lionize • LYE-uh-nyze • verb To lionize someone is to treat them as a person of great interest or importance. // While her name was not attached to her books in her lifetime (she published anonymously), Jane Austen continues two centuries hence to be lionized as one of the English language's greatest novelists. See the entry > Examples: “What I love about this memoir, which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2019, is its incredible sense of place. [Sarah M.] Broom's story is submerged in one of the most lionized—and complex—cities in America: New Orleans. More specifically, she focuses on New Orleans East and the yellow shotgun house that the author's steadfast mother, Ivory Mae, bought in 1961, and where Broom grew up as the youngest of 12 siblings.” — Isaac Fitzgerald, The Atlantic, 10 Aug. 2022 Did you know? Across time and across cultures—as evidenced from Chauvet-Pont d'Arc's paintings to The Lion King—lions have captured people's imaginations. Though the big cats themselves are fascinatingly complex, it's perhaps no surprise that humans have long projected qualities of bravery and regality upon the proverbial “king of the beasts.” It is precisely those and similar admirable qualities that led, in the 18th century, to lion being used for a person who is similarly well-regarded, especially after a long and distinguished career in a particular field, as in “lion of the Senate,” or “literary lion.” This sense of lion imbues the verb lionize, which first appeared in English in the early 19th century to apply to acts of treating someone as, perhaps, deserving of roaring applause.

When 57-year-old Bruce Cucchiara was gunned down in the parking lot of a New Orleans East apartment complex in 2012 his murder devastated his family and stumped law enforcement. The father and business man seemed to be well-liked and on a positive path as he coasted toward retirement. He was also worth $5 million in life insurance. For more than a year CounterClock's Delia D'Ambra has investigated the case and unraveled a web of bizarre information and circumstances about his life and those who benefitted from his death. The geographical and political setting of the murder has a dark history of corruption, fraud and violence and at every turn Delia discovers Bruce's complicated business life may have put him in the crosshairs of several bad actors. From allegations of a setup and ties to organized crime to Bruce being a key witness in a multi-million-dollar lawsuit to random robbery...each scenario is something the New Orleans Police Department can't rule out. Now, 11 years after his brutal slaying the questions still remain, who murdered Bruce? Why was he even in New Orleans East? Where is the murder weapon? Delia has discovered new information, tracked down witnesses and revealed secrets within the victim's closest circle that will blow this unsolved case wide open. CounterClock Season 5 is the most extensive and explosive investigation to-date with more than two dozen interviews and over a thousand documents that tell a stranger-than-fiction story about a very real crime.

On Tuesday April 24th, 2012 someone shot and killed 57-year-old Bruce Cucchiara in a New Orleans East apartment complex. Who was Bruce? His children, ex wife and widow reflect on the man who's murder is the focal point of CounterClock Season 5.

Louisiana's troubling history of political, racial and socioeconomic division leads Delia to understand New Orleans East better. NOPD's current cold case detective weighs in on the basic facts of the Bruce Cucchiara crime scene, a frustrating 'person of interest' sighting, and a code of silence that stunted the investigation from day one.

Why was Bruce even in New Orleans East on the day he died? The answer eludes everyone,and Delia discovers some sketchy information tucked away in land and business records for the Mark VII Apartments.

Scoot takes a call from Linda in New Orleans East, who is feeling good after the recall petition failed - she suggests the effort was always about race. 

New Orleans is one of the few major American cities without some form of rapid transit. Now, the Regional Transit Authority is trying to change that with plans for a new, faster bus line that would connect New Orleans East and the west bank to downtown. WWNO's Metro Reporter Carly Berlin tells us more about these plans and why the city council is already pushing back. In the last few years, White populations have grown dramatically in historically Black, Hispanic, and Asian communities all across the country. And New Orleans' Treme neighborhood, one of the oldest Black communities in the country, was no exception.  The Washington Post's Marissa Lang was part of a team of reporters looking into these patterns of gentrification. She joins us now for more on what she discovered in New Orleans, and how that compares to the rest of the country. Ask any Mardi Gras reveler a favorite memory from Carnival's past, and it might include catching a treasured throw from a parade float. Behind each prized throw is hours of work, bottles of glitter and dozens of float riders crafting together. Reporter Kezia Setyawan went behind the scenes with three krewes as they created their signature throws. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel.

Scoot talks to Metairie Bank CEO John Leblanc about the latest snag in the effort to redevelop the old Six Flags site in New Orleans East

Adriana Green, a Ph.D. student in the Department of African American Studies and African Diaspora Studies at UC Berkeley, and Nadia Ellis, an associate professor in the Department of English, discuss Sarah Broom's The Yellow House, winner of the 2019 National Book Award for Nonfiction. The memoir, set in a shotgun house in New Orleans East, tells a hundred years of her family and their relationship to home."I am a diaspora scholar and I've had to explain what my field is to many people," says Ellis, who specializes in Black diasporic, Caribbean and postcolonial literatures and cultures. "Sometimes people seem to not understand what the word 'diaspora' means. And I think this is such a wonderful book that one can offer as an example of what it means to feel as if one is both from one place and also displaced from that place — to feel as if the place that claims you maybe most closely is also the place where you can't live, which is an extraordinary and painful and very, very idiosyncratic feeling to have.

In a city sitting below sea level, New Orleans residents are well-aware that we're sinking. But in New Orleans East, some areas are sinking far faster than others, forcing its residents to deal with fractured houses and precariously steep driveways.  WWNO's Halle Parker digs into the multitude of causes that have led to an unstable land to live on in the Village de l'Est neighborhood of New Orleans. Parker also collaborated with and spoke to Floodlight Reporter Sara Sneath about how residents in the area are responding to threats of irreversible damage to their homes.

The beignet. That simple square of fried dough is undeniably one of the Crescent City's most famous foods. Few visitors leave town without a ceremonial dusting of powdered sugar that occurs with every beignet bite. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the ubiquitous donut has been sold from French Market stands accompanied by steaming hot cups of café au lait. Twenty-first century chefs and restaurateurs have taken that simple fried dough to new heights, filling them with ingredients both savory and sweet and featuring them on menus far from home. We kick off this week's show with Bob Hennessey, co-owner of Morning Call. After a two-year hiatus, the iconic shop is back in Mid-City – serving up beignets and café au lait just like it did 150 years ago. Next we meet Jaclyn Robinson, of the Mo'Bay Beignet Company. She credits the successful launch of her Alabama business to divine inspiration. Then, we stop by a warehouse in New Orleans East, where Gulf Coast Blenders works to provide most of the Crescent City's famed beignet locations with a dry mix specially formulated for each customer's needs – resulting in a light, fluffy beignet that is the standard in this city. Finally, we make our way to The Vintage, a café that has built its entire concept around beignets in both Baton Rouge and the Big Easy.
