I really should have posted this link a long time ago (like I really should have posted a blog entry a long time ago). It’s a really good story about what we deal with living in New Orleans right now. It’s great visualizing exactly where she is when she’s talking. When it was aired on the radio last month, I was actually driving home on Tchoupitoulas at the exact spot she was describing where the street turns into one-way.

The best part is when she tries to describe why we live here, even with these problems. I bet that doesn’t come across very well to most people. I’m also guessing that everyone who lives here completely understands. Perhaps it’s slightly different for everyone, but there’s a life and culture to this city that I could never describe… I just know it’s here.
