    Squatting in Nola ->

    What are the current laws there on squatting? Any one squatted there have any tips, tricks, to-dos, not-to-dos, etc? Is there anything like Homes-Not-Jails (SF) in Nola? Is UNITY a threat ? - will they report a squat to the police?

    tree house just outside NOLA

    My friend found an abandoned tree house in the woods 15 min. outside of New Olreans in Chalmette. A bus ride down St. Claude into Arabi and then a 15 min. walk or I would say 30 min. bike ride. Right now it is just a raised square wooden platform with each corner nailed to a tree with a support...

    Let's Squat in NOLA

    Packing up my car and hitting New Orleans soon. Looking to meet up, find a building, and start squatting. 30% of New Orleans is still vacant after Katrina, with a disproportionate amount of "condemned" buildings, making it the perfect place to squat. Just in time for Mardi Gras too :) If you're...

    The Hail Seizures in Nola

    I'm not in Nola, but the Hail Seizures are headed there, and I recommend anyone down there to try to see this folk/punk band. They are my favorite in the genre, hands down. Fans of Blackbird Raum, Abandon Ship!, and Dandelion Junk Queens would certainly like them...
