"I think you are looking at basically a town that will be a playground for the rich for the next 40 years," Leonard Moore, a professor of African-American history at Louisiana State University, tells Pitts. "I look at the post-Katrina piece as a game of musical chairs….Once the music gets turned off, the white folks have a place to sit down, a place to sleep, a place for their children to go to school. We’re going back to a trailer."
One example of new development Nagin points to is a 68-story Trump Towers condominium complex, a project that makes some critics wary that New Orleans will lose the heritage that made it unique.
Looks like it will be a Chocolte/Vanilla Swirl City.

That guy is a jackass and the residents of NO deserve exactly what they get for re electing him.

And I hate new orleans. While down there for Mardi Gras a couple years ago, I asked a black cop for directions back to my hotel and he PURPOSELY sent me into the worst ghetto imaginable where my car was quickly assaulted by two, 300lb beasts with strawberry daqueries. One ripped off the mirror on the drivers side while the other threw drinks into the car. My friend Josh punched one of them as I struggled to hold the other from entering the car. A huge crowd started to form and I thought I was going to die before we just drove through the crowd. ****, worst nite ever.
