Article for Book Club
Last week in Book Club we all decided to find one article each about New Orleans in a different point of view other than Piazza's. I found an article called Rebuilding New Orleans by Peter Jon Lindberg which is clearly about New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In this article, Lindberg does exactly what Piazza did in Why New Orleans Matter which is he describes some of the restaurants in the city and the food that is still the same there. He then goes on to talk about the devastation after Katrina and mentions the neighborhoods. Lindberg talks of the X marks that are sprayed on buildings to note that the property was searched. Also, he ends it by saying that time is measured in "Before the storm," "During the storm," and "Since the storm."

That sounds like a really good article. It's so interesting that they choose to focus on the food and the music instead of the real issues at hand. Maybe they're just so sick of the problems they want to talk about something good for once. I really like how you mentioned how they measure time, I can definitely see that being true.
