New Orleans Municipal Yatch Harbor June 24, 2006

I keep posting these boat photos because many people who left the City have not been back yet. Either jobs or family have kept them in another state. Someone DID see his boat on my gallery.
And, anyone who wonders why we are still in this mess has only to look to the Mayor of the City who everyday says he has "plans" that never, ever materialize.

Do I sense an uprising coming??? Most would understand.

Just one of many tragedies to blight your fair city.
SHAME on the state govenor, and the senate.

I agree more should have been done already, especially where garbage is concerned. But it is not hard to believe this is still there when you see the rest of the city. There was an immense amount of destruction, not just one concentrated area. New Orleans is in fact rather reminiscent of war torn Europe right now. Not many people are living in 80% of the city. They are either dead or went elsewhere.

This said, the mayor seems to be more interested in pursuing a new career as a preacher, and any decisions he has made are non-decisions (ex: he has decided to pass an ordinance requiring residents to have their houses gutted or otherwise taken care of by Aug 29th 2006, but says he cannot enforce it...what's the point, then??!).

I don't think you need to apologize for posting pics of what we live with every day, Coleen. Keep it up.

This would be alomost IMPOSSIBLE to be in Europe, only in wartime when all people are dead eand nobody lives there, otherwise it was already cleaned and cleared. Amazing behave !!
