How is the chocolate city ? (sarcasm off)

depends on what part of the city ... the tourist/business parts of the city are rebuilt and open for business (c'mon down, y'all!), but there's still a lot of really damaged neighborhoods and a few like the Ninth Ward that are absolutely trashed.

Same here in Gulfport/ Biloxi / Pass / Bay area, still totally wiped out on the beach front. How's the crime in your area? We are in a fema trailor park, and some idiot stole the freon (or whatever) from our Air Conditioner a few days ago, the FEMA people said the homless and drug addicts steal it too make meth. It's getting bad over here in some parts. So far so good ,where we are at.
