Bubble machine leads to soap opera in the French Quarter
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – It may take the wisdom of Solomon to resolve a serious soap opera in the French Quarter.
A bubble machine has divided a bar owner and a homeowner on opposite sides of St. Philip Street.
Joel Moody, the owner of MRB bar, uses a bubble machine on his second floor balcony to catch the eye of passing customers.
Burt Benrud, the owner of a home directly across the street from the bar, says that when the bubbles land, they damage the paint on his Porsche and his house.
Tempers have flared, the cops have been called, and a lawsuit may be next.
See the dispute in our story above.
