[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 763401, member: 18807"] I'll never forgive my first time back to Nawlins' after the nasty Bia-cth Katrina punished her levees. I was an Amtrak comin from a Saints v Texan game at Reliant in 2007. I rode in at night and I knew that was the big guy's plan for me. He knew, I could not handle those first looks on that Thanksgiving Holiday week under the microscope of the light of day. My life is measured in days. My first lesson in Nawlins' - life measured by how high the water was round 'bout ya'll. My face planted hard against the glass, the darkness protecting my heart from the ruins of life destroyed by the water and my view clouded by the salty tears running down the tracks as the train pulled into New Orleans. This was America. Take a moment and share. Do you have any photos? Do you have any post Katrina stories? Why do I love New Orleans? Did you ever listen to the sound of a crying tenor saxophone, echoing at night, calling your soul with first notes of Amazing Grace, on Royal Street? The food is good. The music....
