Bravo New Orleans!

One of the design's in Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" housing development


The tour today was a real highlight of my week spent here in N.O. It is very difficult to imagine just how horribly Katrina impacted this city BUT a 2 hour tour made it very, very real. The fact that 3 plus years have gone by and there is still such desolation is so hard to believe. The people who have remained to rebuild are to be admired for their faith and hope.I'm heartened by the church groups and individuals who are still committed to this cause. It was fun to see Brad Pitt's houses and the colorful Musicians Row. It is a privilege to help in any small way in this recovery effort. Bravo New Orleans--
