The Sum Of New Orleans Is More Than Its Parts
While much attention is being focused on rebuilding and repair, focus should also be placed on regaining the culture.
"New Orleans is only the latest American city to face wholesale rebuilding after a natural disaster. Chicago burned to the ground in 1871, San Francisco was flattened by an earthquake in 1906. Both re-created themselves but with an eye to the future rather than the past. The charm of New Orleans, however, is inextricably linked to its past. This is not the City of the Big Shoulders, but the Big Easy."
