5 St Tammany Parish Mayors Answer a Group Question; Tammany Together Meeting

by Leave a Comment

On April 18th, 2011, The Tammany Together Association asked 5 St Tammany Mayors to attend an informal question and answer session. In this particular video all 5 Mayors are taped answering the question… “What aspect of their job do they feel is the most misunderstood by the public?”, With the caveat; “How do the Mayors get along with their city councilman?”

I was able to attend and video tape this Meeting of the Mayors, and was thoroughly impressed with their forward thinking, dynamic ideas. Hope you enjoy.

Thank You

Tammany Together Mayorial Forum; What Advice Would You Give To Someone New Running For Mayor?

by Leave a Comment

On April 18th, 2011, the Tammany Together Association corralled 5 Mayors from Cities across St Tammany Parish. In this segment the question is asked to the panel; “What advice would you give to a person who was new and running for Mayor?

Our 5 Mayors: seated from left to right…

  • Candice Watkins; Mayor of Covington, LA
  • Donald Villere; Mayor of Mandeville, LA
  • Peter Gitz; Mayor of Madisonville, LA
  • Louis Fitzmorris; Mayor of Abita Springs, LA
  • Freddy Drennan; Mayor of Slidell, LA

I was able to video tape this great meeting and get a chance to get close to these representatives of my home parish. In this light each one seemed much more personable, or maybe it was just my imagination or possibly just my preconceptions… Who knows? Regardless I listened to many different view points during the course of the evening and disgested what I felt was good information, therefore I am sharing this discussion. This particular video is longer than many of the others, however it contains all 5 Mayors answering this one question, so I felt there was a little leeway… Hope you enjoy.

Thank You

Louis Fitzmorris; Mayor of Abita Springs, LA, Renovating the Abita Riverside Park.

by Leave a Comment

April 18th, 2011, Tammany Together graciously pulled together 5 Mayors of St Tammany, including Louis Fitzmorris of Abita Springs who discusses the damage to the Riverside Park from hurricane Katrina and hence the wonderful donations from Abita Beer and Abita Lumber to renovate the Gazebo and raised walkway over the river.

I have ridden my bicycle through the park many times; stood overlooking the river, trying to spot a snake… I have had lunch under the gazebo with a lady as bright as the sun’s rays! My finger was slammed in the door, of the green car, by one of my sisters, in 1975 I think. We were filling up empty plastic milk jugs of Abita Springs water, for my Mama who lived in New Orleans. Filling up from the free well in downtown Abita. Wow that hurt!, and was a pretty good long time ago! 🙂 There is good water in Abita Springs, and hence… Now good beer too! LOL!

Thank You

Louis Fitzmorris; Mayor of Abita Springs, LA, Shop in Abita!!, Tammany Together 4/18/11

by Leave a Comment

Louis Fitzmorris, the Mayor of Abita Springs speaks on shopping in Abita Springs, the arts and crafts, woot!! This video was taken at Christwood in Covingon on 4/18/11. This mayorial forum was called together through Tammany Together. I actually grew up outside of Abita off of Lowe Davis Road. Back in the early 80’s when the ABC grocery was still standing, myself and a friend would ride out bikes, ohhhh… (thinking hard…) probably 7 miles or so (each way…) to buy candy and play the video game in there. Journey, I think, was the video game. Something where you were the beetle spaceship, and you, as the band, flew around…?? Anyway, Abita Springs is a beautiful, friendly, special place and I have fond memories of this small town as a child. 

Thank You

24 Multi Family / Income Generating Properties For Sale in Mandeville, LA; Current 5/10/11

by Leave a Comment

Income generating real estate is very good path to financial freedom. If you buy a property, and the income generated by leasing / renting this property covers it's financial obligation, and also places a worthy amount of money in your pocket per month… There is a very good reason why people buy duplexes and live in one half and lease out the other…
