Shootings tarnishing New Orleans' image By MARY FOSTER, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 18 minutes ago
NEW ORLEANS - Breakfasting on beignets in the French Quarter on a Sunday morning, Dorothy Washington was a tourism official's dream — she saw none of the scars that still mark most of New Orleans 11 months after Hurricane Katrina and she had heard nothing about six weekend shooting deaths. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060730/ap_on_re_us/new_orleans_shootings

Sounds Nawlins before Katrina - the French Quarter is another world from the rest of the city.

I know that silver tarnishes, so does copper and I think bronze. I wasn't aware that bovine feces could tarnish.

Didn't N.O. want things put back to the way they were pre-Katrina?
Mission Accomplished!

The village idiots shooting at rescue helicopters should have been the first clue.

Move all of the resident to Deetroit. They'll feel right at home except for the winters...

When we went to visit my good friend who was then living in NOLA I was afraid to bring any of my good jewelry. I grew up in NYC!
