Kudos to native Alexandrian (who was once a fixture in Downtown Alexandria) and friend of the blog, Holly Hawthorne, for making her debut in the Times-Picayune.
I had no idea Holly made tamales, but they look delicious.

HOLLY! We love and miss you! Thanks Lamar, for bringing this (and countless other items) to my attention.
Yep, Holly used to keep things interesting here in Lafayette too. Ol’ Girl managed to once ride a bicycle with one peddle for several miles in a Critical Mass. Along with her manner and voice, she’s unforgettable.
