It was a beautiful Monday here in New Orleans… blue skies and temperatures in the upper 60s. Today was also my first law school field trip. As part of my class on disaster response, we visited the Jackson Barracks, downriver from the lower ninth ward. We heard about the efforts to restore buildings that took on 12 feet of water, the difficulties of historic preservation, and pilot projects for military housing. Attached are some pictures from the trip… enjoy!
Also, see photos from WPA work at the Jackson Barracks.
Man, I miss those streets – the old houses and backyard jungles and cracked sidewalks.
That sounds really interesting.
I would like captions so as to better understand each photograph.
