That's kind of silly, no? I'm all for what's happening in NOLA but the city is no where near the southern powerhouse it was until the bust. I read a stat the other day that the Metro area is still down 1,600 businesses from 2005. That's a huge number still, and even bigger when you consider a good number of big publicly traded companies left.

It's at least the best it's been since the late 70's. No lying.
If you don't believe the reports and articles, etc, go ride around the different neighborhoods. I recommend doing it on a bike.
Someone who hasn't been through most places since the 80's wouldn't recognize it. The easy spots are the Marigny, WHD, Bywater, Oak Street, and Mid City.
Treme, Freret, and the Irish Channel are the ones that blow me away with how quick thinkgs are happening.
Uncle Ted who teaches his N.O. culture classes in the lunch room at the plants probably hates life right now, but things are def. different.

Is there any sort of list or article that contains a summary of which companies left? I'm sure they left for Houston
