The Final End

I think this week marks the true end to my trip. Which sounds odd since I've been back for weeks. But I finally rolled my empty suitcase out of the laundry room and I finally got the voice recordings ready to upload, be sure to look back at past posts to listen to interviews with locals affected by the storm.

Also a couple days ago I got a call from Nora, one of the ladies I interviewed, she called to let me know the house were we met her was knocked down recently, secretly at night. This was the house she talks about in her interviews as a symbol to her of the typical New Orleans. I guess having this house disappear is just one more sign that the old New Orleans is gone.

It's going to take a lot of time and help to build up the New Orleans. It's very much in our hands what the New Orleans will be like.

Recovered Images

These are the images Jon recovered from the corrupted CF card. As well as an interview with Nora who tells me about her thoughts on a destoryed house that we were taking pictures of.
