Only have a few minutes? We'll break it down.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell pushes a tough-on crime message, an Uptown mansion seen on reality TV is up for sale and Ivana Trump dies at 73.
Here's a look at today's top stories in New Orleans for Thursday, July 14, 2022.
'Real World' Uptown mansion for sale
The three-story Italianate house at 1633 Dufossat St. in New Orleans has come a long way since its 2010 run on “Real World,” when seven strangers were herded together under its roof to create reality TV.
The decor then was more than a tad over the top, but the whopping 8,202-square-foot home, with six bedrooms — four of them en suite — plus a total 10 baths, reflects a more classic look likely to please today’s buyers who browse in its $3.9 million price range.
Past performance is not always a predictor of future success in the NFL; injuries happen, circumstances change, the game is fluid and ever evolving.

‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ author wanted for questioning
Delia Owens, author of “Where the Crawdads Sing,” the hit novel with a movie adaptation due out this weekend, is still a person of interest in the 1996 execution-style murder of an alleged poacher in Zambia.
She, her ex-husband and his son were working with a documentary crew for a piece on the cruelty of poachers and hunters when the filmmakers stumbled across the man “executed while lying collapsed on the ground after having already been shot,” according to The Atlantic.
The Owenses have all publicly denied any involvement in the shooting death, but the cameraman claimed the son fired the fatal shot.
Ivana Trump dies at 73
Ivana Trump, who formed half of a publicity power couple in the 1980s as the first wife of former President Donald Trump and mother of his oldest children, has died in New York City, her family announced Thursday.
She was 73.

Amid cratering approval ratings and ongoing public outcry over violent crime, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell this week fielded questions in a pair of community forums in which residents expressed fear for their safety and frustration with the conditions of their neighborhoods.
The mayor pushed a tough-on-crime message, peppered with emphasis on a “holistic approach” that includes job training and mentoring programs for at-risk youth.
