" The New" New Orleans


Last weekend i went to New Orleans to visit a few friends. I was freaking out because i didn't know what i was getting my self into. Going to a city so effected by Katrina, not that long after its effects, could be pretty intimidating. I was picked up at the Air port and taken to a suburb 5 min outside the city called Metarire. With about 130,000 people living their, this was more of a city than a suburb.

The whole layout of the town was so foreign. While their are a few strip malls in our area, but everywhere you looked their was one there. It was like they were just building for the sake of building. Bridges were being build in most places as well. All the homes in the area seemed to be livable by now though. I was just wondering why take the money and time to build a bridge, where it would just be a convenience, not a necessity. While their are people still living in homes taken over by mold and bacteria.

It doesn't seem like a good plan to save time and money to me.
