Can you believe it?
Twelve hundred people out in the streets parading and protesting for the rights of Lower Mid-City residents and for the gutting and rebuilding of Charity Hospital. It was an inspiring sight to see and to experience, and we'd like to thank everyone who attended from the bottom of our hearts for their support.

Corps' plans to extract clay has too many holes, local leaders say
~Bigad Shaban
~Plaquemines Parish president Billy Nungesser said following Hurricane Katrina, the corps dug more than 60 pits as an emergency maneuver to find the clay needed to harden the levee system, but he said the corps never filled the ditches back up.
"And to leave all those holes in the parish, takes that land out of commerce, takes it out of development and if we continue to allow that to happen we're going to have levees protecting nothing,” said Nungesser.
