New Orleans is a beautiful, unique, crazy, amazing city. Since the levees broke during Katrina, it has been a wounded city. Only half the population has returned after the storm, and there are still neighborhoods that look like war zones. I love this city-- there is nowhere else you can dance to jazz in the street with strangers and eat boiled crawfish till your stomach hurts. I want it to rebuild better and stronger than it was before.
