I moved away from NOLA (Gretna) several years ago.  I was thinking about moving back the beginning of last year, but my mother became ill so I stayed in Texas.  When I found out Katrina was heading for New Orleans I stayed glued to the T.V. I couldn't sleep.  When the mandatory evacuation order was issued I broke down and cried like a baby.  I got so depressed watching the footage of the aftermath I had to make myself stop watching.  Next thing I knew here comes Rita, heading straight for my area. (Texas coast)  The poor people evacuating from N.O. now have to evacuate, because of Rita, along with all the people from Galveston, Houston, Baytown etc. It was horrible!!!\n\nTo answer your question about going back to N.O., yes, I plan on moving back.  You can take the people out of New Orleans, but you can't take New Orleans out of the people!!!

Oh, man!! I remember Stuckey's, just off the highway. We always stopped there, to pee, when we would drive to my grandparent's house for the holidays, mostly Christmas. I would always end up buying some candy or a soft drink to make it "all the way" to Granny's. It was only a 2 1/2 hour drive. LOL. Those are some great memories. I'll never forget that place!

Mark's on Radio 2 at 10.30pm and Lard's on 6 music. You're quite right, surreal and bizzare, they are sadly missed.

I hated to leave New Orleans and the house I grew up in, I mean it was like watching the world as I've known it for 20 years now FALL APART AT THE SEEMS! Spent the better part of the first five months living on the floor of a one bedroom apt. with my parents in Houston. They didn't have jobs and I didn't have a college, UNO was flooded. It didn't really hit us till about a week later when we realized we were gunna have to start over. For a Middle Class family who worked for everything we ever had to just lose it in the blink of an eye was hard. We had insurance, but like so many WORKING CLASS New Orleanians, it wasn't nearly enough. My mom worked for a private school as a teacher, and they with held her check for months after the storm. Living on foodstamps for us is sort of embarrasing but a necessity. I couldn't live in New Orleans and I don't want to live in Houston. I really don't feel like I have a home, but you just have to look forward and not behind and that helps with the tears a little. It's hard when there's no one to help, when everyone you know was effected by the storm. I'm at LSU living one day at a time and working... It's sort of home. Something new. A new start, I guess it could be worse, a lot worse.

Yes, one held here locally called J-fest and then to Faith and Family night at another Local festival called Riverbend.  J-fest was hot, hot, hot.  Weatherwise.  I was miserable and the sound system was horrible.  Seemed like no one was listening to the music.  I waI really disappointed.\n\nNow Riverbend with Carmen, Rebecca St. James and  Kirk Franklin was absolutely awesome.  80,000+ Christians standing under the night sky with hands raised singing praises to God.  \n\nI echo your words---COOL!!!!
