October 22
My last day in New Orleans when I spent the morning walking through a small section of the flood zone, the flood zone being basically everywhere north and north-east of the traditional tourist area by the river.
I’m so glad I did it but not because I have such happy news to report. I’m thinking it’s a story to tell with statistics. I’m leaving my opinions mostly out of this because I can’t think of how to express them cogently anyway, and I don’t even have statistics to share.
The picture on the left is from 2005, of the neighborhood I walked around. The pictures on the right are of the Ninth Ward where I did not walk, the bottom is from 2006 and the top is from 2010.
