It's All Wrong, but It's All Right

What's New In Real Estate & Life In New Orleans

September, Here You Come Again, just when we’ve begun to need you. We've been working 9 To 5 through a Baby I'm Burnin' kind of summer, hunting Evening Shade in a city that offers precisely none of it. We can’t wait to dig out our Coat Of Many Colors.

In The Meantime, Louisiana has been center stage as SpaceX just announced the world's largest and busiest spaceport, planned for the Pecan Islands In The Stream. Some people say they smell Something Fishy in the deal Jeff Landry cut, while others say Daddy Did His Best. But hey, NDAs? That may just be A Cowboy's Way. Nonetheless, Elon is on the Highway Headin' South, towards The Bridge across the bayou.

On the other hand, speaking of The Bird That Never Flew, f*ck the Falcons. Football season is here, which means we're hoping to avoid the Heartbreak Express, hence the Big Dreams and Faded Jeans. Mama Say a Prayer. Regardless, Saints, I Will Always Love You. Even you, offensive line:

O-line, O-line, O-line, OHHHHH LINNEE
I’m beggin’ of you please protect my man
O-line, O-line, O-line, OHHHHH LINNEE
Please protect him just because you can

Take a look below if you’ve got a few Nickels and Dimes to spend at The Bargain Store on something that Feels Like Home. I’m beggin’ of you, please just take my land.

Office Update

The Rigs Workspace, our home base on the riverfront at 25 Walnut, is officially full. We handled the leasing assignment for the private office and desk spaces at this one-of-a-kind Uptown workspace, and we're happy to report every seat is taken. Housed in repurposed oil platform buildings with Mississippi River views and the kind of industrial-chic charm that doesn't happen on purpose, it's a genuinely special place to work. If you'd like to be on the list for future availability, head to rigsnola.com or shoot us a note -- we'll make sure you're first to know.

P.S. Yes, that was 22 Dolly songs. Here's the playlist if you'd like to hear them sung properly.
