A city that all Anne Rice fans are familiar with if not fascinated by. Why not discuss it? Discuss the history, Hurricane Katrina and its effects. Anything you want as long as it relates to New Orleans.

Well this isn't any real important info other than that I lived in Louisiana for almost 4 years and not once got to visit New Orleans or even Baton Rouge for that matter -.- Louisiana....is just crazy... Oh by the way gator is really good. And if you ever go down there, go to Catfish Junction. Mardi Gras was crazy everywhere and fun as hell. I still remember writing 17 pages of notes in my history class one day just about Mardi Gras. Though still not once had I ever gone down to New Orleans...though going down there during that time woulda been too dangerous. But still...........I wanted to go!!! crying

I'm still heart broken over Katrina. The President's reaction was akin to Nero fiddling as Rome burned, and he revealed how little he cares for the poor of this country. So much there gone, all over the gulf coast, but that's the way of things I guess. Cities rise and fall, along with empires, perhaps this is just one of many heralds that ours is falling.
Wow, isn't that depressing. I'm normally so positive, but some things are just too saddening. How long as it been since Katrina, yet still things aren't as they were before, may never be, so many problems. I just wish everything would be ok, maybe it will be. This is America, we can rebuild, I wish I could do more for that city, for other things and places as well, yet all I give is prayers. Hopefully things can work out and things can get better. Night is darker before dawn.

I wish that I could have visted New Orleans before Katrina. I know that restoration efforts have been underway for awhile now but it will never be like it was before. I'm sure that many of the older homes and cemetaries are gone forever...and with them a piece of both New Orleans history and literary history.

I've lived in Louisiana all my life....I geuss my thoughts on NO are different than people who just visit it...I truly think, other than the French Quater, is just a liability. I prefer Lafayette, than again, I'm biased seeing as that's where I live.
