    • Kazeltgn : Hi webmaster!
    • Guest_3356 : Greta, it was wonderful meeting you this weekend. We are frantically packing with just over one and a half weeks to move. Thanks again for referring us to Janie Mizes, she has been amazing! See you soon!! Sharon and Chris

    • Greta : Guest 2352 I've donenothing but expressed the outrage everyone else has in writing. At least I am not afraid to stand for what I believe.
    • Guest_2352 : this is not a threat - this is a TRUE warning - be careful who you piss off around here and who you talk bad about b/c St Tammany really is very mayberry in many ways, so just be careful
    • Guest_4958 : Mandeville was a great place before Eddie Price and will be a great place after him because of the character of the people who live here. Show me one place where politicians have made life better. They can only make things worse. I hate the "after me therefor because of me" mentality of politicians. Most of the time the truth is "after me, despite me."
    • Guest_889 : I feel particularly connected to you. NOLA is my second home, discovered after three years as a Katrina volunteer -- I travel, with a group of 100+ students from Centenary College in NJ each January, to help with the rebuilding effort. But the closer connection has been my friendship with Zach Gibbon, Debra Gibbon's incredible oldest son. I met him somewhat accidentally, having been "assigned" him as my personal trainer at a gym in Hackettston, NJ. I had been a Red Cross volunteer at Ground
    • Deborrah : I talk about crazy dating relationships in my book Sucka Free Love and would be happy to be a guest. Greta!
    • Greta : Guest 40 - Quite contraire - but hey - I try and I sign my name to everything and not drop in as an anonymous guest!
    • Greta : Baileigh Levee - keep cheering for Mayor Price - he needs people like you! You must be a good friend!
    • Guest_40 : she's lived here for a year and a half and thinks she's already an expert on the whole new orleans area - she hasn't gotten a clue
    • Baileigh Levee : To Greta, It is so sad that you believe you should sit in judgement. Eddie Price, as well as his family, are some of the finest people I have ever met. When I first came to Mandeville I fell in love with the city, and I think that is large in part to the works of Mayor Price. I think it is such a shame that people in this day will read articles and a believe it to be the absolute truth. The truth is it was a mistake, and guess what everyone is allowed those in life. I hope that one day yo

It’s the People

Posted on April 30th, 2007 by Greta

Wow! I have had an outpouring of local community love this weekend. I got so many E-mails from locals who are enjoying my fresh perspective as well as house shoppers and possible transplants who were convinced that Mandeville & the Northshore were the places for them - after reading my blog. The power of the [...]

What if I miss Jazzfest?

Posted on April 29th, 2007 by Greta

“You have to go to Jazzfest, it is the best.”
“Don’t miss the French Quarter Festival, it is the best.”
“You have to go to the Bacchus Ball, it is the best.”
To be honest, my family needs a day at home (I may be regretting that statement when they all wake up). We have tons of yard [...]

Lake Harbor Middle School

Posted on April 26th, 2007 by Greta

Son #1 goes to Lake Harbor Middle School in Madeville now & son #2 will be there next year with him. Tonight they had their “Evening with the Stars.” I was blown away! Something unique to this area school system is how they group and evaluate their “gifted” students. They wouldn’t even honor #1’s gifted [...]
