Seized by the city: The New Orleans home where jazz trumpeter Buddy Bolden once lived has been seized by the city. Over the years, plans have been announced to save the house but nothing has taken root. Doug MacCash details what might happen next. Book complaints: They’re trotting out new library cards in St. Tammany Parish for juveniles that are aimed at giving parents more control over the materials their kids have access to. This is an outgrowth of some complaints, and in a handful of cases, formal challenges over some of the books in the library system. Interested in news from St. Tammany and the north shore? You might enjoy our North Shore Report newsletter. Another iconic snack: I’ll take “Iconic New Orleans snack foods that aren’t Hubig’s Pies for $500, Alex.” That’s right, New Orleans isn’t just the home of our favorite hand pie. Contributing writer Mike Scott has the story of New Orleans’ own CheeWees, and their claim to fame. For even more food and drink coverage, please sign up for our Where NOLA Eats newsletter. Low water treasure: The long list of things turning up on the once-water-covered shoreline of the Mississippi River gets more interesting by the day. The latest? A sunken ship one small town would just as soon forget, and a rare fossil from one of the giant lions that roamed thousands of years ago.
