About this listen

Etosha McGee and Charles Miller are the hosts of Pelican Briefs, where we break down the stories shaping Louisiana and the New Orleans region. We take a closer look at Old Gretna on the West Bank, exploring how this historic riverfront area is evolving as new businesses, restaurants, and housing developments bring renewed energy to the community.


We also unpack the controversy surrounding a proposed $10 million brewpub project tied to Port Orleans Brewing Company, which has sparked debate over the use of public funding for private development. We discuss the political tensions between Gretna and Jefferson Parish leaders, the arguments for and against the project, and what this situation could mean for future economic development in Old Gretna and the broader West Bank.
