520. Part 2 of our conversation with Joshua Trosclair, a progressive activist. "HousingLOUISIANA
is a statewide initiative aimed at meeting Louisiana's housing
needs and create a statewide network of regional housing
alliances to ensure better collaboration across the state. Under
the #PutHousingFirst banner, Louisiana has built out its Housing
Triad, a multi-pronged strategy transforming the affordable
housing marketplace across the state. This alignment
supports a housing-centered foundation for intersectional
community-rooted initiatives designed to respond to climate
change, criminal justice reform, racial inequity, the COVID-19
pandemic, and the hurricanes that have devastated South
Louisiana over the last few years."

- This week in Louisiana history. April 30, 1803. Louisiana
Treaty Purchase Treaty signed. - This week in New Orleans history. On May 6, 1883, the Daily
Picayune reported that "a New Orleans concern which H. C.
Ramos is president and other leading buisness are interested"
bought two stores on Tchoupitoulas Street with plans to
erect a plant for the manufacture of their product, Red Rock
Ginger Ale. Henry C. Ramos would gain greater fame in 1888
when he concocted the first Ramos Gin Fizz — a mixture
of gin, lemon juice, lime juice, egg white, sugar, cream,
orange flower water, and soda water — at his Imperial
Cabinet Saloon on Gravier Street. Before Prohibition, Ramos
had over 20 bartenders working at the Imperial at once making
nothing but the Ramos Gin Fizz - and still struggling to keep
up with demand. During the carnival of 1915, 32 staff were on
at once, just to shake the drink. - This week in Louisiana.
