The Big Easy
It's looking really bad in New Orleans right now, and I'm starting to seriously worry about whether it can be saved--or if what makes that amazing city so unique can be saved.
My primary interest is music, and New Orleans might be the most musically rich city in the world. They have it all--jazz, rock, country, blues, cajun, bluegrass, you name it. On top of that, it's been the inspiration and setting for so much many great songs and stories, the list goes on and on. They've got the New Orleans jazz festival and so many other great events.
Right now, the primary focus is saving lives. If you've seen any television footage, you probably noticed that most of the city is rather poor, and most of the residents simply have nowhere else to go and no way to get there.
I really hope that New Orleans and its residents can pull through this.
