rescue recover rebuild

 
for now, a teaser.

what's open?

 
I took pictures of my first 24 hours in NOLA today, a beautiful crisp fall day spent retracing my steps to the places I visited when I was here in June. Called "The Only Tourist in Town", I was treated as royalty by everyone I met, the large proportion of whom had lost their homes. Only the woman at Hove said she came through relatively unscathed, but they're all here, and they're all slowly opening up, and some are slowly closing down.

As soon as I can figure out how, I will upload the 122 picture day to flickr. Until then, here's a photo pile with the end of a lovely day on top.
