Don't be lost in Nostalgia - 12/25/2010
I was born and raised in New Orleans and I never understood why some people loved it enough to die for it. Hurricanes Katrina was predicted long before it happened. New Orleans has always been ridden with poverty,poor education, HIGH crime and high unemployment due to lack of industry other than tourism and we all new it. Even though I grew up enjoying Mardi Grads and other festivals, I've always had a since of fear and lacking as a child due to it's enviroment. I haven't found a place with friendlier people 20 years later but I am happy that I left in 1990s. A friend I grew up with regrets that she never left to see and experience other places that are better. New Orleans is to me is like a Capitalistic spider Webb that trapped many people in to be eaten alive. My family lives elsewhere so I have no reason to visit. I can still attend Jazz festivals, meet friendly people, and eat craw fish in many other places in the world. What kills me is that some are still moving

New Orleans; the rebirth of an American city - 2/18/2010
Over the course of her history New Orleans has gone from being the Queen of the South to being nearly wiped off the map by the catastrophic flooding resulting from the federal levee breaks during Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans has has had a troubled history; poverty, race, crime, poor educational achievement, lack of employment opportunities. On the other hand in many ways New Orleans is America's most interesting and romantic city. A city of Mardi Gras, Jazz, magnolia trees, street cars and the Mississippi River. August 29, 2005 was a turning point for city. Katrina has wrecked havoc everywhere. Could New Orleans survive? Should New Orleans survive? The answer, of course, was YES. Now, nearly 5 years after the storm, New Orleans is finally turning the corner. Renovation and rebuilding is happening across the city. New elected political leaders are poised to take full advantage of federal programs. The evolving charter school system is being touted as a model for urban

visitor's impression - 1/7/2010
My daughter and I made a trip to New Orleans this Dec. This was our first time.
We just loved your city. First off we liked the way you all take pride in preserving your history,we only had 4 days and wanted to see all of New Orleans so we took a tour bus ,very informative and our lady guide from the 9th ward treated us like we were family from out of town that she was driving around.We respectfully viewed the Katrina damage, I feel this is important because people all over our concerned and want to see for themselves how much help the most devastated lower 9th ward still needs and what our government is doing to help in this country for our US citizens. Like my daughter said back at the hotel "Come on mom ,Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have to build houses for them? Harry Connick Jr.? Yes they certainly did step up to the plate and they are to be commended but we want the government to give more money for rebuilding . We saw whole shopping malls still wiped out. These people

I have never lived in New Orleans but have visited before and absolutely loved it. It saddens me to see the horrible things said about such a beautiful and unique city. Personally, I plan on buying a home there some day. I would hope that its residents would come together as a community and put thier hearts and minds together to achieve thier vision for the city. I know it can be
