The 9th ward revamp project. I have decided to post the photos of what some houses look like, and the newer houses- photos of Brad Pitt's building project.

The rebuilding project (Make it right). I thought you guys might be interested as one of these homes is supposed to float.

Great pics. My niece moved down there fairly recently. I'd love an excuse to see the place.

I was waving to you from my hotel room buster. It's too bad I didn't know what direction to wave in. You look stupid waving in all directions...

I still want to know how that house floats...
