Thank you,to remember this city and his citizen and their battle of survive.

Hi Anderson. Wow, the French Quarter! Several years ago, long before Katrina and long before my Mother decided to cash in her bingo chips, my Mom's family, the Powers' side, had one of thier family reunions in the French Quarter. My Mom got to go but I did not. She could not stop talking about that for a very long time. She related to me, or at least tried, how very beautiful and exciting it was. I envied her that, I really did. But I'm really glad she got to have that experience. May the dear lady rest in peace. 'Nough said!

Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization. Everyone should at least, for once in their lifetime, take part in it. Thank you to all the people who volunteered and donated to Habitat for Humanity. This group has helped so many people here and abroad, there should be more coverage on what they do (at least on a monthly basis) to remind us all that by helping others, we are helping ourselves.

New Orleans is in a hole and will be blown away again. You can't stop the inevitable. Why would the USA pour money into such a losing proposition? I love New Orleans, too. But you have to face the facts.

A musicians village – that is really cool. NOLA certainly has a large share of musicians and I'm sure would like to keep them. This help would go far in accomplishing that. I've been to NOLA one time to see my daughter when she lived there – this mountain girl had never seen the like – I knew it was different as we sat at our tables in the French Quarter having lunch and a man walked by with a cockatoo on each shoulder; beautiful birds but that is a sight you just don't see very much!!

I was there dec 2007, to do a doc., glad to see the impervements, still have a long way to go... keep on truckin everyone, and stay tuned for more,

In the effort to rebuild a major city and cultural Mecca from hurricane deviation and broken levees, and the experience of government breakdown or government dysfunction we have corralled numerous professional organizations and associations, community cause oriented groups, not-for–profit organizations, local and national leaders, talented artists, celebrities and the concerned public, volunteers and voluntary organizations, media journalist and interested traveling individuals who see the cause to contribute to concern the rebuilding efforts by whatever means possible, not to mention foundations and humanitarian organizations which also have a large impact in the rebuilding effort.

Tommy2,
You call that love? I was just reading these comments thinking how wonderful it was to not read all the negative posts we usually get from all those good Americans that don't have a clue. New Orleans is rebuilt due to the hard work of people that TRULY love the city. I am sorry you cannot be happy for us.

I agree with tommy2.

Tommy2-
You have no idea what you really just posted do you? Any coastline of the US could be hit by a hurricane not just New Orleans. It is not a losing proposition.....have you visited recently or ever? Do you know what real history lives here in this city with the rich textures and mixes of people with french and spanish hertiage. We are one of the last jewels of the south and deserve to be saved as I am sure your city would had it ever faced a man made disaster like Katrina. The city didn't flood because of the force of the hurricane. The Corps of Engineers made the levees which failed to provide safety to the city. It was a man made disaster. The residents of New Orleans are proud of their city and their state.
