Leaving New Orleans

I'm about to drive to the airport. I am feeling sad to leave. There are so many people to thank and I will do that properly this evening from my home in Wisconsin.

I came here because I Cared about New Orleans. Now.....Well now I Love New Orleans.

I know someday I'll be back. And I know New Orleans will be back too.

Thank you for coming and telling our story. New Orleanians know that our city has had its problems but we are a proud people in a very interesting city. Our city and our lifestyle is like no other.

please come back and experince our charm in a true New Orleans way.

We do not want handouts...we just want our city back and it is up to the Corp of Engineers to do this. It was thier fault that the levees broke and they must take responsibility for correcting thier mistake. Not until our families feel safe, will we return.

Thank you and God Bless .

Good job, Scout! I know this had to be emotionally draining for you, but to those of us reading your posts it was very well worth it. Thank you very much.

Glad you chronicled your trip to NOLA and here's wishing you a safe journey back to Madison...where I spent most of the 90's (moved back here to Louisiana after I graduated from UW).

Scout. Please check your email!

A reporter that I contacted from the Times Picayune is interested in talking to you in the clean up in Lakeview the day that congress was supposed to be there.

I've included his email and phone number in the email to you.
I called him and told him I would let you know he wants to talk to you.

Scout, I can't wait to hear the rest of your stories. But I'll have to wait, won't I? While you do your job that pays your bills.

subutane, Chris Rose is a riot, isn't he. He's a New Orleans treasure. The mayoral election should be quite a spectacle.
