Indeed. There's a long neglected Little Debbie sign in the Old Warehouse District of New Orleans that just keeps getting creepier as it weathers.

Faded painted sign on corrugated metal door in an old brick building. Over text "Little Debbie" in a red rectangular outline is artwork depicting the face of a girl. Weathering and rust have made the face look rather monstrous, with spooky eyes under fierce eyebrows, a snarling mouth, and misplaced nostrils.

Mixed Messages - or - The Name Game Louisiana Governor Klandry put the University of New Orleans back under Louisiana State University, as "LSU New Orleans". A few big signs have changed names, but many other signs continue to display the old name. #NewOrleans #signs #Louisiana

Photo looking across lawn towards a 2 story 1960s modern building labeled with lettering "UNIVERSITY CENTER" at top of facade.

In front of the building is a large sign "LSU New Orleans - Home of the Privateers".
At left a sign on a metal pole "The University of New Orleans - Visitor Parking 2 hr limit".

Sign at First Grace United Methodist Church in New Orleans today. While Pope Leo XIV is most associated with Chicago for many in the US, New Orleans notes his maternal family roots in the 7th Ward of New Orleans. Even some non-Catholics are finding him inspiring. #NewOrleans

First Grace United Methodist Church in New Orleans has a sign with movable letters so that it can show changing messages.

In this photo it reads: "Human dignity is not negotiable." - 7th Ward Pope

It came from the back of the spice jar cabinet! Photographed before throwing out. We cook with fresh garlic regularly, but not garlic powder. Ms H wants to try out an empanada recipe she found, so she got the ingredients at the grocery store. This included a jar of garlic powder. 1/

Transparent plastic jar of garlic powder, with red plastic lid. Paper label on jar has text "McCormic Garlic Powder" with an illustration of a head of garlic. Smaller text reads "The Taste You Trust" - Non GMO

Another photo of the same jar, rotated to show a different part of the label. It has a short recipe for "Garlic lime chicken", below which is "Flavorful Tip: 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder = 1 clove fresh garlic".
At bottom of label are logos depicting a desk-top computer and a land-line telephone, with a website and a telephone number.

I remember dancing to this band with friends at a party in Antigua Guatemala in 1979, and we were having so much fun we passed a hat around to get money to pay them to play for an extra hour.

Snapshot of band, 4 men playing a long marimba, a youth playing a drum trap-kit, and obscured musician playing upright bass.

Good morning - Brown lizard in Greenville, New Orleans. Photo by Infrogmation of New Orleans.

Long tailed brown lizard on grey-painted wooden deck, with a few small pink flower petals around. The lizard eyes the photographer, in position ready to run should the circumstances suggest that action.

Led away in handcuffs for careless cycling during Holy Week. Semana Santa in Antigua Guatemala. Photo by Infrogmation of New Orleans, April 1981. #Guatemala #police #HolyWeek

Slightly faded 1981 color photo print. Cobblestone street with old 1 and 2 story stone buildings to sides. 3 men are seen walking away from viewer in the street. 2 of the men are police officers in khaki uniforms with campaign hats. The one on the left walks a small bicycle, the middle police officer carries a rifle. The third man is their prisoner, walking with his hands in handcuffs behind his back, wearing blue pants and a white shirt with vertical stripes.

To both edges of the view are sidewalks with some people walking and others watching the scene; about half of the onlookers are children.

Ura Star. Transom window seen on Oak Street, Carrollton, New Orleans. Photo by Infrogmation of New Orleans, 22 May 2026. #NewOrleans #NOLA #windows #FensterFreitag

Exterior view of part of a building, weatherboard walls painted peach color. At center is upper part of a doorway, the frame painted white, with a transom window with vertical security bars above it. The door is painted red, and has a window in it; part of a white pickup truck is seen in reflection in the window. The space above the door and below the transom window is painted green as background. On this green field is metal decoration, looking like it was assembled from parts of hat racks or coat racks. The design on either side is vaguely flower shaped; the center looks rather like an owl's face, the resemblance heightened by white stars painted for eyes. Other white stars with black background are painted around it. Text below the face reads "URA * STAR".

New Orleans legacy street furniture - this afternoon I spotted new-to-me address number tiles from before the 1894 renumbering by block number. They're in rough shape, but they have been obsolete for more than 130 years. Current 1700 block of Bienville Street. #NewOrleans #tiles #NOLAsky

section of cracked and weed-grown concrete sidewalk, with cracked old tiles inlaid, 3 tiles each with 1 number in light blue with white outline and light grey background, "296"

called them, and yes they had a coin counting machine, so I took her there. $75 & change, hey. I do miss the teller cages though (2007 photo by Infrogmation of New Orleans, Whitney Bank branch on Poydras Street, New Orleans) 2/2

Interior of neo-classical style bank building looking mostly circa 1900, with tall marble columns, metal bars and wickets for teller windows, and patterned tile floor. Also has various large plastic spider decorations, as photo taken during Halloween season.

I presume this is how a raccoon grabs an apple core without setting off the catch trap.

Stock illustration cartoon of a jewel thief seizing lowering themselves by a rope from the ceiling so as not to touch the ground and set off alarms, a long time action movie trope. Here the jewel thief is a shapely woman in a tight black outfit with matching black high-heel shoes, gloves, and mask around the eyes, depicted holding on to a rope with her legs and one hand while the other hand grabs a large diamond from a pedestal in a museum.

Photoshopped by Leslie Penner. Daleks were defeated in New Orleans by giving them go-cup drinks until they passed out in the gutter. I think there was a Star Trek episode about this. #Daleks
