Groceries throughout the city are fewer since Katrina and they have been packed early and daily due to the tailgate factor and king cakes going on in the workplace this week.

TWO WEEKS DOWN, PLENTY OF EXCITING FOOTBALL AHEAD! ... Two weeks into the 2009 NFL season, nine teams find themselves undefeated at 2-0. Of those nine clubs, four – Denver, New Orleans, New York Jets and San Francisco – did not make the playoffs last year ...
