 Text and the City: New Orleans Took a trip with the family to New Orleans back in March of ‘04, and in between meals (ah, the jambalaya and po’boys), I would snap pix of the cool old signage we encountered. Wonder if any of them are still there? Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and sadly, much of the Gulf Coast is still in bad shape. Habitat for Humanity is helping to rebuild homes there; I just sent them 20 bucks. Hope you will do the same. See More >>
