Local-celeb trumpeter, Kermit Ruffins, announces his collaboration with possible WTC site developer, James H. Burch, LLC, today. Ruffins will reveal details on the plan to attach his name to an "upscale music venue and supper club" and bust out a few songs. Perhaps this is Burch's attempt to steer his bid toward the locals. His proposal includes embarrassingly touristy details like pirates recounting New Orleans' history and a "Mardi Gras club." [Nola.com]
