Henry and Sarah have a baby girl – Isabella
I caught up with H in NY late in the afternoon after a meeting close to his office on Houston. He is working on the master plan for several districts in New Orleans with Fred Schwartz (the office he works for). He was telling me that in the lower nine a lot of houses were handed down through generations so there are a lot of people who have no titles to their homes. What was more disconcerting was when he articulated what we all know here in New Orleans – that the transfer of real estate to these lower income people created a life whereby they could get by and instead of having to be industrious to afford rent, they could play music, cook, paint, and dance – they enriched and colored our lives in New Orleans and what makes me cry right now is that they will never be able to recapture that life again – and oh what a difference to all of us.
Katrina – you bitch. You ruthless whore.
