Katrina's Silver Lining

Before Katrina, the garden in front of our Esplanade condo was really struggling. People used to leave their trash in it, pick the flowers for their own use. Today, the lack of tourists and reduced foot traffic (though Port of Call appears to be doing some good business still) has allowed the garden to become a tropical paradise. Hopefully it will be able to continue to thrive as the tourist trade picks up.
