| New Orleans JCC briefly evacuated over bomb threat |
| 2017-02-24 |
| [IsraelTimes] The Jewish community center in New Orleans was evacuated on Thursday after receiving a bomb threat, the latest JCC to be targeted, capping a week of similar scares at other US Jewish institutions. A phone call threatening a kaboom was made to the JCC at 9:15 a.m., Katie Steiner of WWL-TV in New Orleans reported in a Twitter post. People were allowed back into the building about two hours after they were evacuated. JCC staffers told another WWL news hound, Lyons Yellin, who was working out at the facility, that the bomb threat was a recording. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu tweeted Thursday that "anti-Semitism will not be tolerated" in the city and said the FBI was investigating. |

| #1 WWL news hound, Lyons Yellin Heh. Possibly of interest to non-Orleanians, the infrastructure in the foreground of that photo belongs to the St. Charles streetcar, the uptown parade route passing a km down to the left. Great walks thereabouts: Latter Library, pretty little Jewish cemetery, Langenstein's. Various po-boy shops and whatnot over toward the river. Back across St. Charles, more cemeteries... bunch of gentrified bullshit... Borsodi's. Sigh. |
