Laurie Cataldo

Hey, it's Laurie...check me out weekdays from 10-3p, doing everything I can to make your workday better! In the studio you'll usually find me reading news articles of all kinds, singing along to whatever song is playing. Outside the studio, I love good food (Jersey Shore Restaurant Week, anyone?), red velvet anything, The Real Housewives franchises, and brilliant sunsets. I'm also dying to be on a game show -- I'd rock Wheel of Fortune. I'm a local girl -- moved here from Brooklyn as a kid, went to Marlboro HS (Class of '03) then Penn State. Something on your mind? Let me know about it anytime at 732-988-POINT or laurie.cataldo@townsquaremedia.com!

By Laurie Cataldo 3 weeks ago

I remember going down to New Orleans as an intern with our sister station to do a charity toy drop off 5 months after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.

We walked through the hardest hit Lower 9th Ward, and I remember wondering how it could all look so untouched and so destroyed after that much time...but after a drive this weekend, now I get it.
