i've been writing a lot in my personal journal. i suppose that's what's inspired me to blog again.
this is pretty typical of what we saw in new orleans. just row upon row of empty houses.
even mcdonalds has abandoned the community. we talked about how easy it would be for a big business, like mcdonalds or burger king to show good faith by opening shortly after the hurricane. instead, two years after the fact, the mcdonalds lot is STILL empty.
there were some local business that opened up right away.
today's ketch seafood opened two weeks after the hurricane.
this post is a little all over the place. i'm pretty disappointed that new orleans is still in shambles two years after. this article from the nytimes talks a little about it. but largely, i think new orleans has already been forgotten by most of the united states... despite how much rebuilding still needs to be done.
i wonder, when the big one hits san francisco, if the nation will turn its eyes away from us as well.
