NEW ORLEANS — Despite being called a “Sportsman’s Paradise,” Louisiana isn’t particularly known for her love of the environment. Yet this week, Raising Cane’s owner and founder Todd Graves made a $100,000 donation to ensure that the Cajun coral reef in Grand Isle would continue to thrive. Graves has invested in 3d printed marine technology that will generate 10,000 square feet of living reef, in turn providing a home for all marine species up and down the food chain.
And as President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden descended upon the Crescent City, little did they know Attorney Mark Geragos (who has served on Hunter Biden’s legal defense team) was investing in real estate on Tulane Avenue.
Meanwhile, Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux was still basking in the glow of all the Red River District hype generated by Rapper 50 Cent. In April, the hip hop artist established his G-Unit Studios in Shreveport and now he is making good on his promise to ensure local businesses and Louisiana talent thrive.
