Katrina Remembrance: A Slide Show 5 Years On.

Little has changed in greater NOLA. As we run head long toward the 5th anniversary of the failure of the Federal, Army Corps of Engineers levees  in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, this slide show was posted on 7/30/2010 at the mid-way point of this remembrance. For the most part, these are recent photographs; From NOLAfemmes.com. Here's a snippet:

Since we’re at the mid-way mark of our journey to August 29, the 5th anniversary of the failure of the federally built levees in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, (whew!) I’ve put together all the photos from the previous 29 days into a slide show.
Many thanks to the people who have contributed photos to this project so far. All photos except five (that I’m aware of) were taken within the past four weeks with the others taken in the past year so we’ve captured a pretty accurate portrayal of  some of New Orleans’ neighborhoods as they are today. We’ve got the good and the bad, the neglected and the restored. Every home and community is a part of our shared experience, our city and our lives whether the occupants are here or still in exile.
Once a New Orleanian, always a New Orleanian.

Visit and view the slide show by going HERE. You will even see part of my childhood stomping grounds flash before your eyes. The show is difficult to watch at times, but worth your time in case someone tells you that everything is just swell in New Orleans.  You know the truth. Share it.

And so it goes.
