What a beautiful day…read more - worship at Mary, Queen of Peace: check - coffee from the wonderful people at PJ's: check - walking on the lakefront with my little buddy: check - crazy, cool tree covered in icicles melting and cracking: check Today was one of those amazingly cool and dry days we get as a real gift from the Father about 4 or 6 times a year. Probably more, but work is work, yeah? Still, it was so cold and crisp, and the sun was so beautiful and bright, that we parked up the street on Girod just to walk past the shops on our way to the lake. Ok, we also parked there to get a pic that super cool tree and the sun shining through the icicles. The lakefront is a gorgeous walk along the seawall - sun glinting off the calm waves, other walkers/runners/cyclists (not too many today!) enjoying the gift of the day the Lord has made. Freki and I were definitely rejoicing in it! We did get some water at The Barley Oak - always dog-friendly, or maybe dog-encouraging. It's one of our favorite places to stop and meet new people to pet. If you see Freki, say hi, he wants to pet you, I promise! 2 thumbs and a couple dewclaws up for this one!

Amazing museum. Fully restored house over 100 years old. Moved from the lake a few blocks back, one…read moreof the original homes of the area. The lady working was a wealth of knowledge and loves her job. Free admission, but they do have a gift shop. Keep places like this open. Come and visit. Check their website to make sure they are open before coming. Simply amazing. Some of the walls have been stripped down to the original, one of the door frames has been removed so you can see that the back was an addition to the original house. It is very interesting to see how it was built and to see the love and care that was put into creating this house and in maintaining it.

Living on the Northshore has it's pros and cons. One definite pro is all of the waterfront areas we…read morehave available to us. Sunset Point is one such place. Sunset Point is located next to the Causeway Bridge and the old concrete plant where they built the sections of roadway that became the bridge. That area is now being cleaned up, but you can still see giant concrete piers and pilings all made on site during construction of the bridge. Sunset Point is run by the city of Mandeville and is a great place to come for fishing or relaxing. There are several gazebo areas where you can just sit and watch the lake, but the main draw is the pier. The pier stretches out into Lake Pontchartrain and is a perfect spot for fishing. It's also a perfect spot to photograph the Causeway if you're into that sort of thing. If you're in the Mandeville area and want a cool view, come check out Sunset Point

Back in 2018 I sent the Mandeville police department video of an incident and many documents…read morerelative to a retired Texas cop of 25 years who battered me in Mandeville on 8-31-2018. He also lied on the police report many times and I sent their team detailed information and a video of the incident documenting this fact. I have stage 4 cancer metastasis in my spine. I am a fall risk and I could have been severely injured. I said nothing to this unsafe retired cop to provoke him. In fact he came towards me and SLAPPED my hands really hard and said "don't you touch me!" He tried to start something. He then grabbed my shirt and pushed me backwards about 20 feet into some equipment. I almost fell. I inquired about filing charges against this man with MPD. No one would respond to my return receipt certified letters and video. They closed the case! This unsafe retired cop from Texas is walking around Scott free. Battery is a crime. I also filed an addendum to the police report that refuted the lies via video. These LOW INTEGRITY cops took out the addendum. The raw report makes me look bad and wrong. Thank you MPD for your following of the laws and fairness. TYPICAL. These same cops were allowing a business owner to illegally park their vehicles in the State right-of-way and in the horizontal sight distance triangle. I made a complaint with LADOTD to try and fix this unsafe problem. You couldn't see around vehicles at this business when pulling out of adjacent driveways!!! LADOTD posted NO PARKING signs out front of this business. These cops still allowed these defiant people to park in the right-of-way even after the District traffic engineer told the owners on 3 separate occasions that they couldn't park there. MPD was VERY aware of these contacts via emails. Maps and documents were sent to the appropriate parties and it now "seems" like the law is now being obeyed contrary to MPD's warped stance. I was at a local grocery store. I was calling these cops to tell them that a man was illegally parking in the fire lane. The man that was in the fire lane threatened to punch me in the nose, because I called the police. I filed a complaint with these cops about this incident. I gave them his out of State license plate. The plate number was wrong so no tie could be made to the law breaker. Well two weeks later I see this same man at the grocery store. I call these cops again. The new cop takes down the license plate number and eventually gives it to the cop that took my original complaint. The original cop did not follow through & contact the lawbreaker for threatening me. He said that the out of State plate number was one character off from the original plate number I gave him. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME??!! I told him that was the guy! That had to be the correct plate number. ONE CHARACTER OFF?! HE NEVER followed through. TYPICAL MPD BEHAVIOR. I file complaints against these cops for poor driving habits etc. I post some videos of this inappropriate behavior online. I believe they don't feel they have to treat citizens fairly and appropriately if they file complaints or don't like most cops in general. MPD IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

Very pleasant arrest experience. I was pulled over for looking lost, trying to find a house I was…read moredelivering food to, and found out I had an attachment for an alleged unpaid 9-year-old ticket. I was booked at the station, and released with a new court date. The arresting officer was very cordial, and laughed at all my cop jokes. He was very apologetic for a few clerical problems they had within their system and office equipment, and made sure I was comfortable while I was there. 10/10 would get arrested by MPD again.
