Diary of a Displaced Louisianian

You should know this about us, the exiles from Katrina: Our brains are not working. The lobes have been disconnected. I can hold a few ideas in my head. Maybe two.

These are other things you should know about me. Until Katrina, I ran the Neighborhood Story Project at John McDonogh Senior High School on Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans. Our students wrote books about their neighborhoods, neighborhoods more often stereotyped than listened to. The books ranked right after Harry Potter in sales. In New Orleans.

I know that paragraphs are supposed to lead one into another, come to a point. I can't think like that now.

The link leads to the story in the paper. Abram is blogging his experiences at In Exile, Blogging for New Orleans with Abram Himelstein.

And a link to a New Orleans that no longer exists,
The Neighborhood Story Project.
