John Batiste’s Big Day: Music star (and Kenner native) John Batiste had quite the day Thursday. He had a delightful time with some of the kids at Children’s Hospital in the afternoon, then rubbed shoulders with some very important people later that night. New Tulane coach? A media report today says Tulane knows who it wants to be its new head football coach. Our Guerry Smith has been following the search. City Park wish list: Got your own vision for City Park? More trails? Lakes? Walking paths? Park leaders are working on a masterplan and you can get in on the action, Stephanie Riegel reports. Two great po-boys: Our po-boy bracket is down to two. Ian McNulty and Chelsea Shannon have all the details. Oh, and the final round of voting closes later today . . . Woody? You there? Some think the ivory-billed woodpecker is extinct. But there are others who think reports of the species’ death are, as Mark Twain would say, greatly exaggerated. Alex Lubben and Chris Granger joined one such group on a recent hunt.
