Bourbon Street

Yes, the interesting folks were out on Bourbon Street


Katrina statue

This statue is made of fifty gallon drums and home remnants after the Katrina disaster. It stands on the side of the road near the Convention Center. It is made to look like a home blown up into a tree. 

Superdome owned by Mercedes Benz today.

We viewed the bridge where the evacuees stood during Katrina devastation

Post Katrina

The City seems to be thriving...and appears to be better prepared and even improved in many ways. 

Fire Truck Emergency...AGAIN

The fire department rushed to a grease fire in one of the restaurants near the Central Grociers in the French Quarter. They sent numerous fire trucks. The Millies were also on the scene in Oklahoma City where 25 fire trucks were on the scene for smoke at an apartment building adjacent to the Oklahoma City Memorial.
