New Orleans Info
I've been pretty glued to the news and scenes in New Orleans today...
I picked this off of Boing Boing, but check out Tulane's main page from the University website. It's evolved into an info blog.
Supposedly, the school is going to be shut down for the next three months...That's a whole semester, son! I had a lot of good times in this town, and I hope you have as well...I can only hope that federal dollars will be pumped in to rebuild The Crescent City.
To keep your thoughts hopeful, I can only refer to Charleston, SC as a model for revitalization after the Hugo Disaster in '89. Old towns and buildings can be revitalized, but not if they're blown down...The good thing from the helicopter shots is that a lot of the historical structures still seem to be standing.
Peace,

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech...

I know there are a lot groups doing great things with aide but props to Tech for stepping up and taking in students.
Thanks to the link from my man, Brian Oxford, who was one of my fellow classmates in the School of City and Regional Planning at UNC Chapel Hill...
I'm always ribbing Brian because he's an alum from Georgia Tech. But I have to give the Ramblin' Wreck a lot of respect because the university is stepping up to house Tulane University students that have been affected by Katrina....Here's kudos to Georgia Tech.
New Orleans is a serious problem right now. People need help. Please keep up your thoughts about helping people in New Orleans.
