We rolled out of the 9th Ward and way uptown to Shakespeare Park to track the 2019 Mardi Gras Indians Super Sunday. We’ll update this post as the day goes by. Here’s what we saw:

RIP Dr X

Dick Beyer aka The Sensational Intelligent Destroyer aka Dr X has passed at the age of 88. Beyer was a superstar under the mask and the biggest masked, non-Hispanic wrestler of all time.

Never heard of him? We’re not surprised. He was rookie of the year in 1955 when few of us were born.

We prowled around a few corners of the internet and found what we feel is the best obit on the man. link

We received a couple off-site missives asking us where we’re taking all these killer photos. Short answer: 9th Ward. Long answer: We spend a lot of time on foot, walking around Florida Development, St Claude, Desire, Bywater and the immediate zone that surrounds the Industrial Canal.

Perhaps one out of a hundred subjects recoils in horror and demands to have the photo deleted. Some folks are camera shy but not this little boy. He got real excited and requested a handshake.

9th Ward is the best ward y’all.
