An Abbreviated Article, Part 1
An Abbreviated Article The title of this article might indicate to the reader that this may be a shortened offering from yours truly, but instead it is on the topic of abbreviations commonly used in the Crescent City, or as some might say: NOLA. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or longer phrases found in almost every field or discipline of our daily lives, from commonly used abbreviations in names or titles, such as Mr., as in Mr. Bingle, or Dr., as in Dr. John., to quite commonly used local abbreviations, such as MB for Maison Blanche, and KB or K&B for Katz and Besthoff. They are commonplace in the use of weights and measures, distances, medicine, cooking and baking. And if you need directions, it’s best you know location abbreviations such as Blvd. and Ave. That’s where New Orleans’ neutral grounds are usually located. These ads ran side by side in the New Orleans Item, September 21, 1938. On the same page was an ad for the L & L Shop at 622 Canal. Many abbreviations have been used for so many years in New Orleans that we have forgotten what the original letters stood for. For example, there’s P&J’s Oysters, key supplier of oysters to restaurants locally as well as nationally. John Popich was the “P” and Joe Jurisich was the “J”, but Alfred Sunseri, a cousin of Joe Jurisich, was the driving force, and all these many years later, P&J’s is still run by the Sunseri family. And the A&G Cafeterias, just like K&B and MB, “ain’t dere no more”. -

Issued by The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Animal Health and Food Safety Livestock Brand Commission P. O. Box 1951 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821 Mike Strain DVM Commissioner Citizens of Louisiana: Louisiana’s livestock industry, valued at nearly $3 billion, contributes significantly to the state’s economy. Livestock producers face many challenges, like high input costs, unfavorable weather, an uncertain economy and an ever-changing regulatory environment. I understand these challenges and face them with you. As a practicing veterinarian, former state legislator and your Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, I believe our future is bright. Opportunities are great but we must lead the charge. If we take advantage of the latest advances in science and technology along with our abundant natural resources, infrastructure and proximity to major trade routes, Louisiana can grow agriculture and forestry into the future. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Livestock Brand Commission inspectors investigate all aspects of farm- related crimes in the state, including livestock thefts (cattle, equine, hogs, emus, ostriches, turtles, sheep, and exotics), farm machinery and equipment. The Commission plays a large role in protecting producer’s property. The brands listed in this book assist inspectors in identifying and tracking the movement of livestock in Louisiana. -

Legendary Louisiana Swamp Pop and R&B Singer, Clint
REMEMBERING CLINT WEST (1938-2016) EGENDARY LOUISIANA SWAMP POP AND R&B SINGER, CLINT WEST HAS DIED, L succumbing of kidney failure at St Landry Extended Care Hospital in Opelousas, LA, on June 28. He had been in declining health for several years. He was 77. Clint West certainly was not a household name outside of his home state, but this local hero merits much more than just a passing acknowledgement. As erstwhile leader of the fabled, blue-eyed soul band, the Boogie Kings, and afterward the Fabulous Kings he is, indeed, a significant historical figure. And his passing marks the end of an era wherein such aggregates first introduced R&B to white audi- ences, especially those lucky enough to live in that musically fertile crescent of ter- ritory which stretched from the Florida Panhandle to Port Arthur, TX, Beaumont and beyond, in fact the whole Gulf Coast. And his role in the dissemination of this blues roots music cannot be underestimated, because in that era of rampant segregation, renegade outfits like Boogie Kings, through their espousal of what the religious right considered the “devil’s music,” either broke down barriers between blacks and whites or, in the very least, contributed mightily toward the rapproche- ment of the races.
