http://libdrone.info/2008/03/i-know-what-it-means/ An almost daily report of interesting, unusual and noteworthy books that passed under my scanner.

Only we thought tomorrow would never come. And it is worth mentioning that New Orleans declined a great deal in the 80's and 90's when the oil boom went bust and the major oil companies all closed down their New Orleans offices and operations. (That's when I left in search of greener pastures.) I agree with Book Calendar that it will for now remake itself as a smaller city. And my point is that this new city will not be the city I grew up in ;) As for the lost glory, ya never know...

It will probably remake itself as a smaller city. Don't give up hope. I don’t think New Orleans will disappear. It will probably remake itself as a smaller city. Don’t give up hope.
