Kevin Nguyen and Monica Resh won a free wedding ceremony through Look At This F$#@in' Street... the one catch: they had to get married in a New Orleans pothole!

The Chiefs may have lost a Super Bowl, but nobody in New Orleans had a worse work day yesterday than the people who had to chisel that crusty purple rug off of Bourbon Street.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to block a federal law that would effectively ban TikTok in the United States as early as this weekend if the wildly popular video-sharing app does not divest from Chinese ownership.

Look it's hard to not get excited if you're a snow lover. A lot of data shows snow next Tuesday, but use caution. Yes the chance has increased for a winter storm, but the storm system is still days away and models will likely adjust some. There is a fine line between snow, ice,rain.

A reminder for my fellow Louisiana parents, as it’s about to get uncharacteristically cold out there…
no coats in the car seat!

A thin fleece and blankets are the safest option.

Game days on social media for me are like reading someone else’s group chat.
it's gotta be weird if you aren't into football at all but follow people who do. you're just minding your own business, enjoying yourself on social media, and all of a sudden everybody says DOINK at the same time and doesn't bother to explain why

The terror attack on Bourbon Street killed 14 people in just 37 seconds. But the suspect had bigger, far more horrible plans.

We pieced together a minute-by-minute timeline of his movements leading up to the attack in New Orleans.
