Good morning, and happy New Year's Eve! Here are some of today's top headlines. More crumbling infrastructure: Restaurants have to endure a lot to stay afloat in the modern age: competition, rising costs, online platforms disrupting their business model. In New Orleans, you can apparently add "nearby buildings collapsing into the street" to the list. Sophie Kasakove and Ben Myers have the story. Scrim in Harahan? Scrim, the runaway mutt, apparently made it to Harahan. His pursuer thinks she knows how he got there. Doug MacCash has the details. Sweet pics: The Allstate Sugar Bowl New Year's Parade rolled though the French Quarter and the surrounding area Tuesday. Chris Granger was there. Check back throughout the day for more news, entertainment and sports from The Times-Picayune. See you next year! Chad |
