So we wandered around a bit here in the New Orleans during the annual Waring family Thanksgiving mass gorging extravaganza. Some areas are popping back, some aren't. And there's weird little pockets here and there where a whole neighborhood has been revitalized except for one business or house. Our favorite was a Church's Fired Chicken emporium just before a freeway on-ramp that we passed almost everyday. The outlet was boarded up and obviously had been since the hurricane. But the sign out front was still there (not quite sure how it survived the hurricane). And it obviously had never been changed since the big blow although a couple of letters had been lost. The message just tickled us a bit.
ET SPICY CHICKEN FOR THE SAM LOW PRICE
I don't know, but I think this says a lot about New Orleans. What exactly, I can't tell you but I think that's part of the charm.
