Connecticut National Guard supports new moms with ‘Operation Shower'
GROTON, Conn. (WTNH) — The Connecticut National Guard is throwing a baby shower for 20 military moms and moms-to-be separated from loved ones. 'We want this day to be all about them,' Lindsey Fletcher, Operation Shower chief product officer, said. 'We want them to feel like they have their best friend back home throwing them a shower for them.' 'Gasoline on the flames:' Lamont, Tong, Bysiewicz respond to Trump administration's use of National Guard in California The submarine museum in Groton is transformed into a place with a softer touch to launch Operation Shower. There are gifts, prizes and all things baby for moms who may be feeling alone during an important time in a couple's life. The tradition started 14 years ago, serving military families from all over the country. 'It just means that I feel not alone,' Alana Thompson, wife of a Coast Guard member, said. 'I don't get a baby shower. I didn't get a baby shower with my first one either, so this is very special.' The Traveler's PGA Championship is a sponsor of the non-profit organization. Last year's tournament raised just over $3.2 million for the charities they serve. 'People come out support the tournament,' Nathan Grube, Traveler's Championship Tournament director, said. 'You see some of the best players in the world; Scottie Scheffler, Rory Mcllroy, you see compete for a $20 million prize and guess what? Whatever money we make we give back to charities like this.' The gesture can be life-changing for some moms who are sometimes just looking to meet others sharing the same experience. 'This was our first duty station, his first time leaving so I've never experienced this before,' Erika Hannah, mom-to-be, said. 'I'm not going to lie. The first time is the hardest.'

15 New Orleans bars and restaurants that have closed this summer
The doldrums of summer came early to New Orleans, bringing with them a rush of bar and restaurant closures. Why it matters: More hospitality owners are pulling the plug early rather than crossing their fingers and hoping to keep paying their bills through the slowest part of the year. The big picture: With few festivals, high temperatures and little tourism, summer has long been New Orleans' slowest season. So, if a restaurant or bar is going to close, it's more likely to come during the warmest months of the year. On the lighter end, summer might mean limited hours or short-term closures. But the coronavirus pandemic cranked that intensity to the max level, with full-blown summer shutdowns picking up pace in recent years. Yes, but: We're not powerless against it. As Ian McNulty outlined for The Times-Picayune, now's the time to show your favorite bars and restaurants that you're there to help them make it through to fall. You can buy gift cards, arrive earlier, and shop smarter when you're opting for take-out by ordering directly from the restaurant rather than paying fees to third-party apps. Closures since March 2025 so far include: Maypop and Mopho, both from chef Michael Gulotta. Maypop in particular had a tough run after a closure prompted by a building collapse across the street last year. Tracey's Irish Channel Bar. Owners said the cancellation of the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day parade this year was the final straw, WDSU reports. BABs from chef Nina Compton and partner Larry Miller. Justine from Justin and Mia Devillier. Frey Smoked Meat Co., which had been in Mid-City for about a decade. The Franklin, which has already made way for new restaurant Evviva. Zony Mash, the brewery on the edge of Broadmoor. Ugly Dog Saloon, which closed in the CBD. Milan Lounge, a beloved Uptown dive bar. Medium Rare, which was only open for about a year, Eater reports. Tonti's Bistro in Algiers Point. Brocato's Kitchen in Mid-City, though The Times-Picayune reports it may reopen elsewhere. Trilly's Cheesesteak, which cited rising costs as a major factor.
