New Orleans, LA

We’ve had a few requests for a review of K-Ville . Since we covered the show earlier , we figured why not. So here’s a little quiz from the Basement, which just happens to be located down south in New Orleans. - Truth or Hollywood - The Opening – The series follows two police officers policing New Orleans two years post-Katrina (hence, K-Ville). One of the officers was on the force during the storm, and was deserted by his partner in the middle of the storm’s mayhem. Did this really happen? Truth or Hollywood? Essentially Truth: Every police officer, every single one, who was ... Read Full Story

Shelley Midura, New Orleans City Council member , recently posted a Katrina 2 year fact sheet. I thought this was a very informational post and wanted to pass it along. The sheet, Katrina Two Years Later Fact Sheet , covers some interesting details. Based on this fact sheet, Shelley created an open letter to George Bush . I am including the open letter here. Check out the fact sheet also though as the information is a bit more concise. Based on what I have been hearing about Shelley Midura and this open letter, I am thinking this is a person that New Orleans needs. ... Read Full Story

Well, I finally got watch the DVRed episode 4. I am live blogging this, i.e. I am writing notes and thoughts as I watch it rather than after. It starts out with Cobb flipping over a katrina-ized refrigerator and pulling out a wad of cash. After cleaning and drying it, he head's over to an unknown woman's trailer. Flashback to the cell with his cellmate and a discussion about the cellmate's girlfriend. Back to the present, we can guess that that's the unknown woman. She looks somewhat familiar to me but I can't place her. He gives here $21,250 and tells her it's legit. ... Read Full Story

I DVR'd last week's K-Ville and am just now watching it. Tonight is a rerun. So, this episode starts off with a great image of Jackson Square from the air. Those images are my favorite part of this show. Cobb tells Boulet to take off and meet his family, that he'll cover the shift. Dispatch calls (actually the Capt did but he was calling for dispatch). Shots fired at a church. It just happens to be Boulet's family church. He knows the layout because he grew up going there. The cops hearing people singing hymns and enter the church. The priest denies anything happened ... Read Full Story
