Y’all come back now, you hear – take your shoes off – sit a spell

An email was sent to the FSJN by a couple who got married three years ago at the Maison Dupuy and are moving here from Atlanta. They arrive this Sunday. They’ll miss my party, but I sent them an email welcoming them to the best place in the world. We’ve got 250,000 vacant seats we are trying to fill here in NOLA. The summer nights have been gorgeous – right now a nice breeze is blowing making porch sitting dreamlike and appropo for summer thinking.

Flower wrote that it seems like a dream – being here in New Orleans at the LaLa with my circle of friends and neighbors.

How many people are here now? 275K or 250K? It’s hard to gage – who wouldn’t want to come live here? This is real living – 24/7 – we are connecting, living, porch hanging while we are still grieving and hoping and waiting.
