How do, my dear swampies! Your old buddy Old Hardhide comes to you a bit tired today. I tell you, there’s so much going on in this fantabulous swamp of ours that I haven’t had a break. The Hide gets around, you know, and since I walk or swim everywhere I go, constant travel can become a bit tedious.

Mayor Wesley Daniels City of Ponchatoula

Ponchatoula is a city steeped in history, where every street corner, building, and home tells a story of generations past. As a mayor deeply rooted in the world of real estate, it is my passion to honor that history while keeping an eye on the future.

While it may not feel like it just yet, fall has officially arrived in Ponchatoula!

The Quest for a Healthier Mind

I planned to write a series of mental health articles for September, discussing various aspects of how different states of mind affect us. Many individuals may feel hopeless due to overwhelm from daily life or a significant life event that triggered a downward spiral.

Ole Hardhide

Well, swampies, I don’t even have a happy greeting for you today.

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

I want to take a moment to express our gratitude that Hurricane Francine passed without causing significant damage to our town.

The Alligator

By OLE HARDHIDEHold on a second there, Francine! Nobody invited you to our fine swamp, especially the grand gator of Tangi, Old Hardhide! I know I can speak for all the swampies here in our beloved boggy land when I say we need a hurricane like we need to spell crawfish with a ‘Y’. Crayfish??
