Current Location: New Orleans
Here are some pictures from my "tour" to the 9th Ward. Special thanks to Kristen (I hope I spelled that right!) for giving me a very thorough and provacative tour.
This is a house that was washed away from its original location. Probably was taken a couple of hundred yards away.
This is the area where the levees broke. It's mostly many acres of overgrown grass like this. Houses used to be here.
Gutting the houses. You see this everywhere.

The date is when the rescuers came for the first time to check the house.

This is all that is left of most houses: the foundation and the steps and maybe a gate.
The new levees. You can get a good look of the Lower 9th Ward. That huge area of grass used to be a neighborhood. I guess they're not rebuilding it.

No, you didn't spell Kristyn correctly...work on it!
I'm back to commenting on your blog, AJ. Ha ha!
Very interesting pictures. It's amazing that while there has been some rebuilding, so much of that area is still destroyed.
Loving the new blog. Glad this job is going well! (and I love the Cats picture in an earlier post)
