I used to come to New Orleans quite a bit in the 2006-2008 timeframe. I remember the first time I rolled through-- almost a year after Katrina.. and how devastated a good chunk of the city still was. I remember my favorite N'awlins client... who would always reminisce on the city pre-Katrina..
And now on the anniversary of Katrina-- you guys are staring down the barrel of another loaded gun.
Please stay safe-- And Mr. Lake-- if you're still around, I have the fondest of memories of you. Do let me know how you are these days.
