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?

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...

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...

Yo, I'm going to be in Fort Lauderdale for a week taking a sailing course, then I want to head towards New Orleans. The buses and trains going out there are ridiculous and I'd rather just hitch it. Once I'm actually down in Florida I'm just going to go out looking for travelers and meet them...

Hey guys me and a few friends are heading down to nola for the first time and are wondering what to do there and how to not get killed. Anything would be appreciated!

Hey everybody! I'll be setting out on my first winter trip in December, hitching from Texas and meeting up with some folks in Nola, and then up to Florida. I'd be grateful for any advice I can get. I'm currently packing 4-5 layers, bedroll, 50 degree bag (all i got), two tarps w/ paracord and...

Howdy! nikki here! Queer fat femme from Baahston. Done some light traveling in the past but nothing like this. Headed to NOLA on my own in October, probably staying a month or two, then not really sure of what i want to do/where i want to go from there. Considering heading to AZ for a bit, and...

Traveling through some of these cities for the first time, and i want to see all the awesome (free/cheap) sights available. Really want to see the under belly of these cities. interesting stores, city parks, freight related sights, abandoned buildings, etc. Looking for info on Richmond VA...

not sure if this should be in events or destinations, but i thought it'd fit in here fine. i've been to new orleans twice before, for a few weeks each stay. i've been told by my friends there that halloween was even crazier / more exciting than mardi gras so i figured i'd check it out. anyone...

I met Phillip one day busking in Nola, he was with some other kids doing the old time country band thing. He invited me to his show at the Dragon's Den which was later moved to St.Rochs. Fucking awesome banjo playing like I've never heard before. He's getting pretty famous and shit now, probably...

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...

Yep, just another kid trying to get there. Naturally the goal was to get there before Mardi Gras, but some stupid legal shit has me stuck here another week! My partner and I are heading South through CA and then East with a fiddle and a guitar, so if you're on the rails in those parts, let's...

This is the start to my adventure. I'll be leaving for New Orleans on the 26th. I'm so excited to get away from snow and be warm. I must admit this trip/adventure cross country is the most random outta nowhere thing I've ever done. Wish me luck and offer me a sofa to crash on if your in the area...

The house I'm staying at here in nola is going to be starting food not bombs, and they're kicking it off on Halloween! There's going to be 2 kegs, and good fun. If you're going to be in New Orleans for Halloween, and you want to hang out with a bunch of squatter types, this will be the place to...

Thinking of heading down to NOLA soon where I'm planning to meet up with some friends who won't be in town until a bit before the 31st. I've managed somehow over the years to have never been to the place before and though I've heard a lot about it am curious as to any info that might help me out...

Does anyone here remember the Burgundy Squat in NOLA? I squatted there around 97-98. It was a big shithole of a house...homebums squatted downstairs...gutter punks upstairs. I heard it burned down a few years back. Many good times there...good times. :p
