So this is on/around St. Roch, then. I rode that way once or twice while I was down there this holiday season, and for those unfamiliar, this is just the tip of the iceberg. This area is the midway point between the London St. canal and the Industrial canal, both of whose levee systems faulted during HK.
Itʻs always a moving experience to see the remaining ravages of Katrina, to be reminded of how the US Govʻt has abandoned its people in our own country and again reminded of the assistance that is still so poignantly needed in the areas that were hardest hit. Mark Morrisʻs "holiday greeting" hits home to what the spirit of this season is *supposed* to be about - compassion, caring and generousity. Thank you, Mark.
Wow, just wow.
The music really adds to the overall feeling of well.. sadness..
