Good afternoon, friends. Did someone say it's Thursday? Here's what's happening on NOLA.com. Troubled bridge: A bridge replacement project in Belle Chasse has hit some big-time snags. There’s subsidence problems, the state has slapped the contractor with daily fines and lawmakers are miffed, Alyse Pfeil and Jessica Williams report. Change of plans for Bywater building: A New Orleans developer has ditched ambitious plans for a hotel and music venue in an historic Frenchmen Street building. Business writer Stephanie Riegel reports that the site will be put up for sale. Not your typical ballpark food: Tulane’s football season opens tonight, and fans attending the game will find that the food options at Yulman Stadium are looking up. Dining guru Ian McNulty has the lowdown on the upgraded stadium menu. Celebrity digs: Wanna live in (one of) Drew Brees’ houses? Now's your chance. But note: This one is in Montana and costs $7.5 million. (Pricey, but oh so cool.) Did you get this newsletter forwarded from someone else? Sign up here.
