The challenge of getting rid of abandoned cars in New Orleans...

Abandoned cars left over from Hurricane Katrina are still crowded about the city. In this photo a portrait of Fats Domino overlooks the cars under I-10 at N.Claiborne and Esplanade looking towards Baton Rouge. A number of disputes, including who should pay for car removal and who should get the contract, has resulted in little progress addressing this problem.

Why this Blog?

THE KATRINA MEMO was first launched in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when issues of class, race and poverty re-emerged as major national issues.The original goal was to keep a focus on post-Katrina reconstruction and the issues that surfaced out of what was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. While we continue to focus on what's happening in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast we'll also explore broader social and political issues that are of concern to all Americans.
