The weather is strangely cool in New Orleans today, which I like, and I enjoyed a non-task related ride around the Broadmoor neighborhood. This neighborhood took on a lot of water when the levees broke after Katrina, and much of it remains in disarray. This house caught my attention because it was on a street with a number of rebuilt homes, making it stick out more than most. I also noticed the twisted one way sign on the corner. There are so many signs like this in New Orleans right now–one way signs pointed up, street signs missing, stoplights seemingly directing both sides of traffic. Some of these signs are downed by Gustav’s recent winds, but far more have been down for over three years. And this house looks almost untouched since that storm, mailbox askew, windows blown out, paint peeling. The lawn has been cut, which makes me think that someone is looking after this place. But I make a lot of assumptions around here. Signs don’t help, so I guess I’m just going with my gut.
Good time. And ,
