Detroit

Is Texas the new home of pizza? The Lonestar State is home to TEN of the Top-100 pizza joints in the country. Have you been to any of these?

Louisiana has one of the highest murder rates in the nation, and it's gotten so bad it's outpacing the national average several times over.

These Texas cities have the dubious honor of making the "Top 50 Rattiest Cities" in the United States list.

Crime has been on the rise, and two Louisiana cities are considered some of the most dangerous in the entire country.

One of the last big money lottery drawings of 2023 in Louisiana has produced a $30,000 winner. The Louisiana Lottery has confirmed the point of purchase.

After the New Orleans Saints pretty much laid an egg last Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams, most members of the Who Dat Nation have put the proverbial fork in the 2023 season.

A bus driver, who complained and warned that people take the novel coronavirus seriously in a Facebook video post has died.

In fact, Louisiana had 5 of the top 100 most dangerous cities - not just the top spot.

With two new releases and a third movie switching from a limited to a wide release, this was a weekend of big changes at the box office. Gone are familiar stalwarts like Wonder Woman and Baby Driver, and in its place are (with respect) the also-rans of summer, a few genre-driven films looking to carve out a name for themselves in a time of year devoid of major blockbuster releases. Here are the numbers as of Sunday afternoon:

Shortly after midnight on June 25, 1967, shots were heard outside of the Algiers Motel in Detroit, Michigan. A group of state and local policemen and National Guardsmen entered the motel looking for an alleged sniper. The night ended with three black teenagers dead and nine others brutally beaten. The horrific incident, which took place during the Detroit riot, is the focus of Kathryn Bigelow’s latest examination of American history. An excellent piece of powerful, dramatic filmmaking, Detroit is one of the most harrowing films you’ll see this year with a wealth of charged performances. But Bigelow’s film, written by Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker), suffers from too broad a title – this movie should more accurately be titled The Algiers Motel – and thus too broad a scope.

The calendar may have four seasons, but Hollywood’s calendar only really has two at this point: summer and awards, and summer seems to last longer and longer ever year. Though the start of May has long been the unofficial kickoff of the S.M.S., 2017 has already seen a King Kong movie, a ghost in a shell, and the fate of Fast & Furious franchise. The change from April to May is something of a formality in 2017. Once the Oscars are over, the summer begins.

Remember the underwear bomber?  His name was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. And back on Christmas of 2009, he flew from Amsterdam to Detroit, and tried to set off a bomb in his underwear. But he ended up just setting his pants on fire.
