SUMMARY: Five years ago, a tragedy struck in New Orleans when the partially built Hard Rock Hotel collapsed, claiming three lives and injuring over 30 others. The area remained scarred for years, with nearby businesses struggling to recover. The building was finally demolished in 2021, leaving a fenced-off empty site. While some local venues have reopened, such as the Sanger Theater and Ruby Slipper Café, others have not returned, and navigation remains difficult in the vicinity. Although there are signs of slow recovery, families of the victims continue to grieve. City officials express solidarity with those affected by the tragedy.

As Rachel Handley shows us, it looks very different now, but there are still scars.

SUMMARY: This week‘s top stories highlight ongoing issues in Louisiana, notably involving private building inspectors. Randy Ferrell, owner of a major inspection company, faces federal indictment for allegedly falsifying inspections, impacting homeowners like Dr. Christopher Morero and others whose homes faced unsafe constructions due to unregistered inspectors. Additionally, St. Tammany Parish officials face scrutiny amid a failed recall effort against Dr. Christopher Tape, entangled in child assault allegations. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Department of Public Works is under investigation for allegations of employee mistreatment. Lastly, a Nazi-looted painting was returned to its rightful owners after 80 years, marking a significant moment for the family.

A nazi-stolen work of art is returned to the grandkids of the original owner, and a master oyster shucker is hoping for another national championship win.
