Ashley Morris..I remember reading this post “back Home with a Vengance”:http://ashleymorris.typepad.com/ashley_morris_the_blog/2005/12/back_home_with_.html I have thought a lot about the idea of after anger comes hopelessness and how much hopelessness is being offered then and now. So Ashley “managed”:http://humidhaney.typepad.com/the_humid_haney_rant/2008/04/a-video-of-ashl.html to fan the fire that we all hold within us. “Greg”:http://www.suspect-device.com/blog/?p=2081 thought it was gone, but it is […]

Every demolition job is required to have dust control. Yesterday while driving down Washongton Ave I was enveloped by a cloud of dust. This dust is “harmful and is wafting”:http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695201355,00.html over a very large area of Central City, creating a toxic dust cloud, anyone have Alphonse Jacksons phone number? “or even Rene from HUD?”:http://www.louisianaweekly.com/weekly/news/articlegate.pl?20060904k it […]

Perhaps we can look “forward”:http://www.bootstrap-analysis.com/2006/07/more_on_the_urb.html to a new “Urban Prairie”:http://detroityes.com/webisodes/2004/13-UrbanPrairie/HermanGarden.htm “or maybe not”:http://www.landliving.com/articles/0000000995.aspx

Today I received an email from XXNO that a striking house on Canal Boulevard was about to be demolished. Since I live about half a mile away, I have enjoyed the sweeping curves of the building since I was a girl. Amidst brick ranches and post-Katrina modulars, this building truly stands out as a marriage […]

Photography By Paula Burch-Celentano I attended the Senate Hearing on the “LSU Hospital situation”:http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/frontpage/index.ssf?/base/news-10/120650891063160.xml&coll=1 yesterday Sarah Elise Lewis was there with her camera and “caught the testimony of Brad Ott”:http://citizenscityhall.com/2008/03/26/the-power-of-public-records-brad-ott-discusses-the-lsuva-proposal-in-new-orleans/ Citizens have been told many times that we will make the right decisions if we have the information, the “City”:http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4200/is_20080218/ai_n24313365 and State don’t seem to […]

One trip to one school opened a can of worms larger than one could imagine. First “Leigh took a trip to Moton”:http://liprapslament-theline.blogspot.com/2008/03/some-responses-to-last-weeks-rsdopsd.html and what she saw there was disturbing enough to make “Sarah take a trip”:http://citizenscityhall.com/2008/03/22/the-moton-school-new-orleans-just-another-abandoned-school-on-a-toxic-waste-dump/ This one begs more questions than would seem possible in an hour long RSD planning process. Why where the […]
