Awards season

Americans for the Arts and The United States Conference of Mayors announced Thursday that Mayor Mitch Landrieu is one of three recipients of this year's Public Leadership in the Arts Awards.

I assume this award is a statue in the form of a shuttered music club. 

Also still waiting on word as to whether of not Ray Nagin has to give back his Bernardo "Excellence In Recovery Award" or maybe there's still time left for a plea deal involving that.
