This hour, Dave Cohen is joined by David Courcelle, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, to break down the exact impact of "Operation Summer Heat 2.0," the multi-agency sweep that took direct aim at the most dangerous street gangs and repeat offenders, and what it means for the safety of your neighborhood. Then, Valerie Cicero and Sue Stein, co-chairs of My Sunset on the Bucktown Boardwalk, join the show to talk about how the efforts are going to redevelop the prime waterfront in Jefferson and Orleans Parishes and invite you to join an unforgettable evening at the Bucktown Boardwalk for a signature celebration taking place on September 18th.
