That includes most of the city BELOW St. Charles Avenue, downtown (lots of places are closed), and the French Quarter. It's worth a trip to see the aftermath if you're an outsider. There are getting to be hotel rooms available. Chris Williams has been coming in to shoot weddings on weekends, staying at an offshoot of the Hilton near the famed Convention Center. If you come now, it will be a more unique experience, and my favorite restaurant is now open (Jacque-Imo's). My neighborhood (Irish Channel is pretty much back to normal. Let me know if you decide come into town. I'll take some time off from work and drive y'all around.

They must be hard to see - hard to make yourself engage with - always a reason not to have to see this. But do so - let your passion tell your city's story and make it's plight real. adam ps: What's your opinion - should people come to visit? My wife and I decided to marry after a weekend in New Orleans - stayed at the Royal Orleans. What do you think? ab On 1/23/06, Jeffery Smith <jsmith342@cox.net> wrote: > Here is one of the early scans (I didn't tweak it much, so it is a bit > dark). > > http://www.400tx.com/CarandBarge.html > > As you can see, this no longer resembles a neighborhood.
