I’ve seen
a bunch of pieces about the return of New Orleans, but this one in the Mercury News was
particularly good. In the wake of the ravaging hurricane Katrina, the city was devastated, its inhabitants lost a
great deal. Some of them left with nothing. A true tragedy to a place that is a core part of the country’s character.
But can the city bounce back?
Well, if the piece here is to be believed, the answer is yes. And more than
that, as the city struggles to get back on its feet, the hopes and future of the city largely rests on its ability to
bring in tourists. So take a look at the piece and consider holding your next big event there, a bachelor party, a
weekend with the wife and kids. Especailly with Mardi gras no the immedaite horizon, take the time and head there, live
it up and help bring back one of America’s great cities.
