Refugees of the Big Easy

A place for recent Hurricane Katrina evacuees to share insights and news on metro New Orleans that might not be readily available through the media. Photos, obscure news briefs, and credible hearsay are encouraged. This is NOT a personal journal but a network for helping people cope--please keep this in mind when you post!
