TJones Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think everyone in America should get one free ticket to a Saints game, since $115 million of our tax dollars went to rebuilding a stadium that should have been insured by the owner and the city.

Trae Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I don't know about the New America's team (but would you want to be a team full of criminals like the Cowboys were). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps324 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The once-luxury Lake Kenilworth Apartments have seen better days. That last picture used to be Hidden Lake apartments on Martin St. When I was a Marketing Director I had to go there a few times. (Every time I could concoct an excuse to go to New Orleans!) It is weird to see it in that condition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F. Barnes Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Had a closing on a drilling company we are acquiring in New Orleans yesterday, I took over Big Giant Drilling so the name will now change to GoldBridge Drilling Inc. and become a subsidiary of GoldBridge Energy LLC my new company. And afterwards decided to go for a drive before heading back to see what progress is being made in the Lower 9th ward area. I was really amazed to see it is still in terrible shape. It looks like Katrina may have come through a couple of months back instead of over a years. They are working on cleaning up but it is a long way off from being close to completion. I took some photos of the area as I drove through. This is the Lower 9th from the highway before I exited off the ramp. As I drove in they were working clearing vehicles The further in you drove the worse it got, they have made progress clearing the edges, however the inner section of the lower 9th are still horrific. One of the cleanup guys told me that this was the symbols put up by FEMA rescue workers. He told me the number on the bottom meant 5 people died in this house, makes you really think. The smell is still awful, sthis area will be a long time coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danax Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 New Orleans is a city born under a bad sign.One native told me last week she heard that new construction has to be built at least 9 feet above the ground. We were wondering if 3 story townhouse builders might start to buy up some of the land now in earnest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
