"It’s just one small step at a time, small triumphs of family and community — the aquarium reopens, City Park gets a scrubbing, the Crescent City Steak House and Brocato’s reopen, residents dribble home, the sound of children’s voices brings life to once-darkened streets, a grocery store opens in Gentilly, a playground gets rehabbed in the east, flowers grow on a front stoop in the Lower 9, your in-laws finally move out of your house in Slidell, back to their rehabbed cottage in Mid-City.
Who says there’s no good news?
There are a million little things, small victories, signs of life, signs of living, manifestations of love for a city, desperate reaches to regain a sense of place, our place, our home, our time..."
