Hurricane Katrina: Rain to Renaissance – YouTube Video
I couldn’t let August 29th go by without posting some remembrance for our many friends in New Orleans. Four years ago today Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast and devastated New Orleans. I went down and volunteered with Project417, staying until October ‘06 working in relief centers and hosting volunteers helping gut out and repair flood ravaged homes in the Lower 9th ward. [any other Lower 9th volunteers out there? comment here and let us know] I put the video together from photos we took, news shots, NASA photos and other YouTube videographers. It still needs an ending that shows the spirit of revival and community caring that continues to grow today. Worth watching? You tell me – I will never forget New Orleans. Re-tweet it @canayjun to let me know you watched. Thx!
So why is this video posted on The Restaurant at the End of the Internet blog? Simple, during my stay there I was introduced to some of the best home-cooking in the world: Nawlin's style, Southern, Louisiana Kitchen cookin', Cajun, Creole and more. If you've ever had a real Po-Boy or tasted home made Chess Pie you know what I mean - so come back to the blog soon for the next recipe.
