Condo spat: Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and an interior designer he hired to outfit a condo at the new Four Seasons Hotel are embroiled in a legal dispute, one that has gone beyond civil court and even includes a criminal complaint. John Simerman has the details. Shrinking parishes: Four Louisiana parishes were among the top 10 in the nation when it comes to the percentage of population lost between 2021 and 2022, according to the U.S. Census. Faimon Roberts has the list, and notes what they all have in common. Plaza Tower: It's been called an "inverted pothole" and a "towering tribute to failure." Debris it shed two years ago even injured a cyclist. But the vacant, '60s-era Plaza Tower building at Howard and Loyola avenues has its architectural defenders. Doug MacCash has the story.
