JoScho Thanks for the tag 🥰 4y

britt_brooke New Orleans is quite a change from Green Bay! We lived in Milwaukee for 3 years and really loved Wisconsin, but not so much the winters. 4y

Cosmos_Moon @britt_brooke I lived in Milwaukee for a while. I don‘t mind the winters, but the mild winters here are more convenient than shoveling a car out 🤗 4y

New Orleans is one of my favorite places in the world. I had visited a few times prior to Katrina. So when the storm and the levees broke, so did my heart. The school I had been teaching at took a group of kids down a year later to help rebuild in Mississippi, and spent a day in New Orleans. This book contains essays by Chris Rose that were published in the N.O. Times Picayune the year or so after Katrina. Reading this and viewing 👇👇👇

AmberWB When the Levees Broke by Spike Lee, really illustrates the full horror of the storm and failures of government from the top down. (edited) 4y

ljuliel That‘s a good one to mention, as it‘s been recent enough that everyone remembers it happening. I‘d think if you were already familiar with the state , then went to help, it‘d hit home a lot harder. 4y

1. 1 Dead in Attic- it was a series of essays that had been published in the Times-Picayune in the weeks following Hurricane Katrina.
2. Probably A Cook‘s Tour
3. Any fresh produce from the farmer‘s market
4. I haven‘t finished it yet, but The Great Alone has been excellent.

Has anyone read this collection of stories? I kept coming back to it but could already feel my heart breaking ⚜️

OhNoMersault Not ready to read it. Still too fresh after 12 years. 6y

Monica5 I haven't heard of it. Is it a true crime or what? 6y

swishandflick @OhNoMersault Oh man, I can only imagine! 6y

swishandflick @Monica5 Not true crime, no. A collection of stories written by a New Orleans native on the effect of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath on the local community 6y

Monica5 @swishandflick Thanks. Sounds interesting. I will have to look for it. 6y

DyAnne I read it years ago. I remember it being very powerful. 6y

Cathythoughts If it‘s heart breaking it must be powerful stuff 👍👍👍stacking 6y

Cosmos_Moon I read this after my first trip to New Orleans in 2007. I moved here I 2008. It is a devastating book, but it happened. 4y
