Nola bloggers Markus, Ashley, and Ray are all quoted in today's LA Times. They talk about a shared "sense of duty" they feel about returning to help rebuild New Orleans.
My favorite quote from the article is from Ray's wife Gina Andre: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of something so important," said Andre... a native Texan who had never lived in New Orleans. "Being an architect is like being a rock star here."

Also, American Zombie is describing some very interesting "apparent conflicts of interest" which have occurred during Nagin's administration. An intrepid (freelance?) journalist would do well to investigate the claims made in AZ's last few posts. I bet there's something to them.

Update: Scoutprime finds a depressing story. (Actually, I'd been wondering why all those cop cars and bystanders were at the St Charles/Jefferson intersection last night at 8:25pm.)
Update #2: Ray has more.

Gina's comment this morning was "I can't believe they took the dumbest thing I said and made it my primary quote."

That's too often the case with interviews.
Either way, I like the quote. I like that she's a Texan who moved to N.O., and I like that she feels like a rock star.
if you ever get interviewd by a mainstream media outlet they will allmost allways do that.
hell im talking about personal experiance with the t.p. at least the bloggers dig deep and hard and cross reference.

"man that sounded weird... "
I had to chuckle at that.
Deep and hard. That's how we like it in Blogville.
