It's so important that people continue to reveal the truth about what is happening in the Gulf Coast region. We can't let the country for get about it. Did you happen to see my former neighborhood library in Lakeview, Smith Library? <BR/><BR/>Also, I'm a '00 friend of Rachel Brill's from Bryn Mawr --- as well as a native New Orleanian. I'm not sure if we actually met while we were in college, but I just thought I'd say hi and thanks.Ms. NOLAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17041417065316353605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11346222.post-1152144673665797312006-07-05T17:11:00.000-07:002006-07-05T17:11:00.000-07:00Thank you for sharing these pictures. It's amazing to see all the devastation. It's a good reminder to those up north of what still needs to be done down there. Even with all our flooding in the north, the devastation in New Orleans is just something one could not imagine unless they see the pictures.Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10916588623360788239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11346222.post-1151583396456259572006-06-29T05:16:00.000-07:002006-06-29T05:16:00.000-07:00Thank you for coming to New Orleans. The ALA showed bravery and compassion in keeping its convention date. For Nola to survive these hard times we need our tourist industry to get on its feet, and your convention showed the other organizations that we can again handle large conventions. Thanks for being the first. And, yes, we WANT people to see the destruction. We want people to understand that the old parts of the city are recovering from a bad hurricane but are up and functioning. At the same time, hundreds of miles of neighborhoods are devastated by flood waters. These are the homes of the most wonderful, giving people in the world. Your friend, looking for a laugh in the sadness, is a prime example. People "elsewhere" just think of the looters as our citizens. It breaks my heart. The real New Orleanian is kind and giving and love their city to the core of ther soul. Thanks again and don't forget what you saw.doctorj2uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15624031523134417278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11346222.post-1151579801788472372006-06-29T04:16:00.000-07:002006-06-29T04:16:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting these.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
