“ In books and official reports, the tragedy of Katrina was blamed on politicians, poverty and poor engineering, as it should have been. But there was another conversation that should have happened — not about blame, but about understanding. What did regular people do before, during and after the storm? Why? And what could they have done better?” — Amanda Ripley in her book, The Unthinkable
Readers, sorry to say that the blog spam has become such an issue that we decided to shut off the comments. We hope this is a temporary thing because we like getting your feedback. In the meantime, if you want to comment on anything you see on the site or on life in New Orleans, send us an email at speak-atmark-chinmusicpress.com and we'll make sure to publish your words periodically.
Go Saints.

About this blog
After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
