Katrina 6yr Anniversary

On the morning of Katrina's 6 year anniversary, this is what was taking place across the street from my house. I found it amusing that it was happening on the actual anniversary date, August 29th. Its a house I have wished to see go for awhile. The house supposedly had never been gutted. Yep, it still had curtains in the windows. It sort of gave me the heeby-jeebies to think of what was growing in there!
It did not take long to see it fall to the ground. From what the neighbors say, the guy who owned the house was not doing well before Katrina. Once the hurricane hit, he moves back to live in a trailer in front of the house and drinks himself to death....basically. Its a sad story....there are many sad stories after Katrina. Katrina put a period on a lot of peoples lives. Fortunately, for many lives, it has been a renewing. Everyone has a story and every story is different from one to the next. I'm glad to be here and witness progress and even participate in progress:)
