Deference to the divine: Carrollton United Methodist Church

March 5, 2012 1 Comment

In the 900 block of S. Carrollton Avenue, among some of the finer mansions on the street, sits the Carrollton United Methodist Church.

Deference to the divine: Zion Lutheran Church

November 3, 2010 No Comments

If there is one thing I’m not, it’s religious. My dad is a non-practicing Muslim and I’m pretty sure my mom is Christian, but neither of them ever took us to church or mosque, as the case may be.  I never went to church on Sundays, I’ve never been baptized […]

Though she was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kim Ranjbar took her passion for the written word and dragged it over 2000 miles to flourish in the city she loves. For well over a decade, she's been eating, photographing and writing about food (and more!) in New Orleans, her work appearing in local publications such as French Quarter Journal, Where Y'at Magazine, New Orleans Living Magazine, NewOrleans.com and Louisiana Kitchen & Culture.

After over 20 years as a transplant — surviving hurricanes, levee failures, oil spills, boil water advisories and hipster invasions — Kim hopes to eventually earn the status of local and be welcomed into the fold.
