Until New Orleans gets back on its feet Essence, Mardi Gras, the Bayou Classic, the Sugar Bowl and other events won't be the same.

RE: the Bayou Classic that is intereting to me b/c my best friend's dad who is a Southern grad living in Houston has been trying to get a box for the game ever since it got relocated and has had NO luck. That has us thinking everything was going fast!
And Soror you are so right about Essence and Mardi Gras and everything else not being the same until New Orleans is once again New Orleans. I love New Orleans, its honestly my favorite American city and our country truly needs a place like it. It is vital that it is rebuilt and equally vital that >>we<< take a prominent role in its reconstruction.
Everyone see the Black Enterprise with this topic (the crucial role of AfAms in rebuilding NO) on the cover (either Nov or Dec) its excellent!
