My first house on Milan Street, January 2006
Common Ground tent city, Jan 06. They’ve since expanded into a large, former school site in the Lower 9th Ward. Hundreds of volunteers are working with Common Ground, mainly gutting homes.

Securing my bike from the FQ to Tipitinas, July 2006.
Happy Go Lucky Restaurant, Oak Street, Jul 06.
Stopping at Wireless City on Magazine to order a new Treo. Crap phone. Store was Agent of the Quarter for 1Q06! No competition in these here parts, apparently.
Another tour to the L9W with the M.A.S. I’m all set on disaster tourism. Really upsetting. And as always in NOLA, conspiracy theories abound!
