NOLA.com Forum Feeds - ThinkNOLA
The forums at NOLA.com have been overflowing so the team at ThinkNOLA have recreated them as RSS feeds. This should help the volunteers harvest and organize data so folks can find it. Check out the NOLA.com Forum Feeds - ThinkNOLA and then stop by and volunteer to harvest and wiki the information. It may feel a bit confusing at this point...it will get clearer, but lend a hand. We'll all figure it out.

This is non-essential information. I merely want to share something. I'm from down there and live in NYC now. I practically grew up in N.O., making it my weekend escape from oppressive Mississippi. I can't stop reading anything and everything about what's happening there now (I can't watch the news; it's too disgusting, the dumbing-down of something so monumental and disastrous). Please take a look at this very brief piece. It's inconsequential to the horror and the mass victimization, but it's a nice, quick respite, pretty evocative of what I remember of that beautiful city:
