Planners gonna plan

It's because, if they say nothing, someone might figure out how unnecessary they often are.

The Deutsches Haus can once again call Mid-City home, the New Orleans City Planning Commission said Tuesday in agreeing to the German cultural organization’s proposal for a new building along Bayou St. John. But before construction can begin, the project’s architects must revise the building’s design to make the structure a little less Germanic-looking, the commission said.

Commissioners also asked about the possibility of renaming the club Gen. Pershing Haus.  

Later they got around to music criticism.
