Greetings from New Orleans!
A Katrina memorial and an indictment in the Lower 9th Ward.
Hello from the Big Easy!
“The house sat empty for a few years after the hurricane as my parents dealt with paperwork and tried to find a buyer. In the meantime, looters stripped it of every useful piece of equipment: copper pipes, electrical wire, light fixtures. But on this afternoon in June, the grass was mowed, the front door was repaired and cars were parked in the driveway. Someone else was living there.”
