I think its pretty blah and not that great. The lower 9 was a shithole before Katrina and I did go there on quite a few occasions to deal crack. A few litlle restored cottages dont make a neighborhood. I could give a shit if the President lived there. It was still a shithole. As for rebuilding it? I didnt say leave the shitty houses there to rot. What I meant to say was light them up like fucking Christmas trees so we can have some open land that would allow more parking for the city. Have you seen the traffic lately? I dont like the Po-boy place I mentioned earlier. I think its pretty blah and not that great.

It wasn't directed soley at your house, or uptown, or New Orleans. There are still millions of Americans who think that we got some wet tennis shoes and now we're hustling money for nothing. I think they needed that. The rebuilding of the lower 9th might not appeal to you, but it's better than leaving an open guttered wasteland of wrecked houses. I mean that's not just stupid, it's ugly. Something good could happen there, no doubt. My friends at lowernine.org are moving families back into their homes as I write this. As far as your comments re: that area being a shithole even before the storm, it's proof that you never went there. I had many friends there, just across the bridge from the Marigny & Bywater, who had restored beautiful cottages and historic homes. Some were bankers and business owners. Some were musicians of great talent. Try not to get carried away with the power of your keyboard, and realize that somebody like Anthony Bourdain is doing the best he can to help. You might not like it, but then, it's designed to appeal to a huge audience from many walks of life. Maybe he got some stuff wrong, but look at your comments about the lower 9th, dude. Lot's of people mean well when they don't have a clue. By the way, somebody get Chris Rose a crying rag, please.
