Thank you again for your very kind words. They mean so much.
Baton Rouge, much to it’s relief, has more or less emptied out. Many people have come back to New Orleans, but some people have also settled on the Northshore. The people of Mandeville and Covington are none too happy to be dealing with traffic problems, crowding and a moderate increase in crime that has accompanied these new influx of residents. They moved from the “big” city to get away from these aggravations and now they have to cope with them again.
New Orleans as a whole is getting it together. Some people have thrown up their hands at the bureaucratic red tape of the Road Home Program (what a mess) and just given up. Still others who are discouraged by the crime situation have left for safer locales. Mainly, the city is full of people just trying to rebuild and move on with their lives. It’s a big undertaking and a sloooow process, but little by little, if you don’t count the elected knuckleheads in charge, things are changing for the better
Thank you!
Had we remained in the NO area, we were going to move to Mandeville.
It seems to have grown quite a bit recently.
I can well imagine how they feel about the new folks in town.
Dealing with the government entities after having lost so much just seems like piling on to me.
It’s a shame they haven’t cut through the red tape.
There are so many, many folks who need move on, and rebuild thier lives.
I’m glad to hear you are moving forward, though it’s as slow as molasses.
I’m very much looking forward to my next visit.
