ESPN anchor and Nola native, Stan Verret (sp?), was interviewed on 104.5fm in BR last week for a sports angle on the 10th anni of Katrina. He mentioned something interesting when asked why some neighborhoods in Nola haven't rebounded like others, he said some folks who were skilled workers or educated that fled Nola 10 yrs ago have not returned because for all of Nola's cultural draws, there are lots of other nice places to have a life
While it is true a ton of people left Nola to never go back, it doesn't mean they moved out of LA. BR areas and Lafayette areas had a huge influx of people that were Katrina refugees that never moved back to Nola.
I have way too good of friends and way too awesome family to move away. Am I saying I would never move away, no, but it would take a hell of a lot. I moved away right after graduation and after a few months couldn't wait to get back. I love my family and friends and that is what life is about. People that think it's about money and fricking roads are probably not the happiest people to be around anyway, so I'm glad if they gtfo

unless of course they are in a place with good roads and they make good money, then they would be happy as a hippo, no?
