| Description |
"Holiday Cheer from New Orleans". House badly damaged by the Hurricane Katrina levee failure disaster with display including a sign with sarcastic message "Happy Holidays to those responsible for this devastation From our house to yours". "Christmas 2005: we had a great time in new orleans, spending vacation bucks on amazing live music and astonishingly great food in the slightly damaged parts of the town. the french quarter, the garden district, uptown... those places are part of the narrow crescent-shaped area the area the locals are calling "the island" where it didn't flood or only flooded a few feet, and just briefly. so the oldest historical buildings, most restaurants and most hotels are in that high ground area, and quite a few have reopened to their former glory! it's a good time to visit and show support there. whole large neighborhoods -- many dozens of blocks each on perhaps a hundred streets -- are not "on the island," and while the smell of mold is only intermittent and much milder than i expected, the sight of vast swaths of debris is stunning. local residents kept telling us to go out into residential neighborhoods to look at the destruction and tell people how extensive it is, so i will start by passing along this holiday message for the powers that be, posted on what was an affluent modern home near the 17th street canal levee breach." |
