1. This week in Louisiana history. April 23, 1863. Seminary (LSU) closes after invasion of Red River Valley by federal forces under Gen. Banks. Military equipment donated to the Confederate Army, but library and other items destroyed by order of Gen. T. Kilby Smith of the U.S. Army. Structure saved thanks to Gen. W.T. Sherman.
2. This week in New Orleans history. On April 23, 1939, the Zephyr first whisked New Oregonians into the sky along its winding path around the park.  Harry Jr. remembered, when he was a twelve year-old, "It was fantastic to get on top of the Zephyr and see nothing but cow pasture as far as you could see in Gentilly".

   Good Eats with a Side of Live Music
   Just about anywhere you go in the Lafayette area, you'll hear the sounds of Cajun and Zydeco music and we dare you to try and keep your feet still. The area is home to many notable musicians including Chubby Carrier, Zachary Richard and Roddie Romero, just to name a few. You won't have to choose between eating out or catching a live music show in Lafayette—the are plenty of spots where you can enjoy both at the same time. Head over to Randol's to enjoy some fresh Louisiana with a side of Zydeco! Visit early or late and you're bound to find folks on the dance floor. If a laid back outdoor experience is more your style, head over to The Wurst Biergarten for a great selection of craft beers, casual dining and music from world-class local musicians like Cedric Watson. Enjoy authentic Cajun cuisine at Prejean's paired with, you guessed it, live music! Taste everything from classic dishes like char-grilled oysters, po'boys and etouffee, to unique dishes like gator "wings," pork skin fried pickles and crawfish enchiladas.
