I'm sure that the next time I look at it, the suggestion will be "High School Musical," but it was a nice coming together of topics. My new job will be taking me to New Orleans soon. It will be odd and daunting seeing it for the first time since Katrina. I've heard an unbelievably large portion of it still has no rebuilding at all. And as to Bas' question -- I think New Orleans is unique among cities in the U.S. Too much history, pain, oppression, ecstasy, and revolt happened down there in the swamp lands to have any match anywhere else in this country. It just has a different feeling to it. I was so happy when Che moved there because I felt that it fit. Of all the places she's lived, New Orleans fit her most, in my opinion.

At least i can say it's headline news in the Netherlands again. If that helps... Do you have suggestions? What, for instance, it was decided to build a new community in Louisiana? Somewhere safer, but in the spirit of New Orleans.. Would you consider moving back? What could one do to get something like the spirit of New Orleans back to life? Well..

Do you have suggestions?

What, for instance, it was decided to build a new community in Louisiana? Somewhere safer, but in the spirit of New Orleans.. Would you consider moving back?

What could one do to get something like the spirit of New Orleans back to life?
