As someone has spent a lot of time along Scenic Highway 30A along the Walton County, Florida, coastline, it's not the place for this type of spring break shenanigans (but shout-out to the @WCSOFL for yet another entertainingly written tweet)
Time to Geaux! A group of spring breakers was evicted first thing this morning from a home in a private community in Miramar Beach. Most attend LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Just before 3 a.m., a security guard called to report what looked like someone throwing glass bottles from a balcony on Wadleigh Way. One nearly hit him as he was making rounds doing security checks. When @WCSOFL deputies arrived, they immediately noticed the roadway and driveway were covered with broken glass and empty alcoholic beverages. A 19-year-old was arrested after deputies called everyone out of the home who admitted to throwing the bottles from the balcony. Taking one for his Tiger team. No one inside was 21. The adult who rented the home was the mother of one of the teens staying at the house. Over the past several years, the Walton County Sheriff's Office has been working with property management companies to identify individuals in rentals who turn into problem houses during Spring Break. Whether it be by destroying property, house parties, noise complaints, and so on. The property management companies can then make a decision to evict. In this case, they did. Let this be a friendly reminder: Hold That Tiger.

On Sunday at 10 pm, @alexandracranfo will deliver her final @WWLTV forecast. She was kind enough to tape an episode of my @WLAETV / @WWNO show this week to talk about her career path and her decision to step away from it to be a fulltime mom. nola.com/entertainment_life/…

Looks like we're getting the @jazzfest music lineup for 2026 a little earlier than the usual mid-January release...possibly even before the holidays
