Editor’s Note by Anne Honeywell The northshore continues to impress me. Both the community and the people. I always enjoy putting together Inside Northside— gathering the stories and especially meeting the people behind them. One such impressive person is Angelle Albright. Wow. She is the most passionate philanthropist I have ever come across—on either shore of Lake Pontchartrain! Whether she puts her strength behind curing cancer, helping our police officers or, as she explains in this issue, helping Louisianians recover from the recent massive flooding. On page 90, she tells her heartfelt story of creating the Northshore Cajun Army. She is truly an amazing Pied Piper of sorts, so inspiring to others that they want to help her and her mission to help any cause she has set her sights on! This issue came together beautifully, and it is filled with a number of caring and giving residents of the northshore. Erin Cowser tells us of three artists who are making a difference and donating proceeds from the sales of their works to flood relief. On page 78, learn more about these talented and generous artists. George Dunbar has spent his life inspiring those around him. This month his Elements of Chance exhibit opens at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Karen Gibbs helps us get to know him a bit better in her story on page 70. Tom Fitzmorris advises us on where he thinks you can get the best steak on either shore on page 126. And speaking of dining, if you haven’t ever had the pleasure of meeting Yvonne Alciatore Blount, then enjoy reading about this lovely lady whose great-grandfather Antoine Alciatore fulfilled his dream of creating a fine restaurant in New Orleans. Sandra Scalise Juneau sat down with Yvonne and shares her story with us on page 46. I hope you and yours have a wonderful November and a very Happy Thanksgiving! And thanks to people like Angelle Albright for all that they give!
