Purely original reporting, delivered in both quantity and quality. I rarely make it inside the footprint myself, but Brad V.'s work takes me there on a daily basis.<br /><br />Also, despite his public vitriol on Twitter to many of us (myself included), I want to make sure that Editilla's name is at least thrown in the ring. Again, "fierce, passionate defense of New Orleans" seems to describe his efforts perfectly, even when we disagree.<br /><br />Finally, one of my favorite general slice-of-life commenary blogs is Beerfooddude by Craig of Janitas.

The Yellow Blog has, this year, stepped up on many fronts where cranky, but well-researched and documented, commentary is needed.<br /><br />That said, I'd nominate Slabbed, because it's there that I have been clued in to the bigger picture of the Metro area, beyond my NOLA comfort zone.<br /><br />CenLamar deserves a nod, too, for connecting the dots up in Alec. I have come to enjoy his commentary - and tweeting - very much and wish him well as he embarks on his law school adventure.

Rick Prose -...Here's a couple o' thoughts:<br /><br />Rick Prose - founder and tireless leader o' lowernine.org; rebuilding the Lower Ninth Ward with few volunteers & fewer resources - but getting ten homes a year back to livable! Rick and his team don't have the budget or donations of MIR9 or Habitat For Humanity - which makes their work that much more important and a somewhat harder task...though the people who own these homes are no less thankful to move back - ask lowernine.org's neighbour Roy, who helped Rick start this.(FYI, Roy is Kermit Ruffin's double - minus the trumpet)<br /><br />Rex Dingler - sure, he's an artist and we expect artists to be a little outspoken, but Dingler has put everything he has into promoting beauty & culture amongst the entropy and apathy since the Federal Flood. From replacing missing street signs immediately following, to "Take It It's Yours" art shows (free art to brighten & improve the neighbourhood AND people's homes) and giving inner city kids a chance to create and learn through art...and he still holds down an honoured position as a boat Captain!Capt.

His work maybe hasn't been as flashy or splashy as previous Ashley Award winners, but it's been quiet, steady, relentless, consistent, and truly significant to the betterment of New Orleans. What I value immensely about Brian's work is that he's built something to help advance the cause of government accountability using empirical data -- in other words, developing the tools for successful practice in government and public officials -- as opposed to the much easier task of simply whistle-blowing and exposing the failures and foibles of government and public officials.Huckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878450464298055466noreply@blogger.com
