Well, New Orleans will never be what it was, but that doesn't mean it won't be as good or better. It is kind of difficult living here right now. There is destruction everywhere. There are still very few people here. There are only four people living in my block which has about twenty houses. I was the first one back on the block. On the other hand there are an awful lot more people here in the neighborhood since I came back two months ago. Since I've been back three restaurants, and a corner grocery store have re-opened within a couple of blocks of my house. Having those local places open did a lot to reviatalize the neighborhood.
Which Liuzza's? The Liuzza's on Bienville is not open. That area got a lot of water. Liuzza's By The Track over by the Fairgrounds is open and the gumbo is as good as ever. I live very close to LBTT and was there within five minutes of them reopening. The day LBTT reopened was a great day. That day I saw so many people I hadn't seen since before the storm. I was at Liuzza's three separate times that day.
