I think it will take alot of time. but i dont think it will.

No, it will never be the same. They have lost too much, including people. The spirit can live on but it is damaged from inside. It could still be great and wonderful but it will not be the same. It can't be:-(

They sure will try to get it back.

I believe the public is really afraid to go back to New Orleans, because of not trusting the sanitary conditions there. you have to realize that raw sewarage ran down the streets and into homes and cars. I have been to New Orleans, but honestly, i do not want to take a chance on meeting Mr. Ecoli.

No I think it lost its flavor...

No, but I lived there for 22 years and it will be difficult to recreate the New Orleans that I knew, but a for a lot of reasons and not all of them related to Katrina. The best result of Katrina was clearing out the housing projects, although old project dwellers have mostly gone on to do their crimes in other parts all over the country. On the down side, old friends who lived in the worst-hit parts have not been heard from since the hurricane. Recent reports about favorite spots are not good, and I wonder how anybody wants to remain in such a depressing atmosphere. All the headline grabbing forays of celebrities hoping to rekindle their failing careers when they grab a hammer and nail a shingle are not sufficient to convince me that the city is on the upswing, and the useless mayor just keeps killing every chance for recovery that he can, and the sad sign about the people who remain is that Nagin hasn't been tarred and feathered. No hope.

Great question Crystal...remains to be seen

I wish I could say so, but I honestly fear that New Orleans will never be the same again.

Will America? That was a big deal I think it's bigger than just New Orleans.

Relocate it to an area ABOVE sea level then use the old NO for a land fill. One day NO is going to REALLY get hit by a big storm and 100's of thousands are going to die. It's stupid to live in a hole.

I am more worried about the not so far away cities and towns which took a more direct hit than did New Orleans. South Mississippi is where the real hit was taken. New Orleans was lucky to have sustained only 80 percent damaged compared to 90 to 100 percent destroyed like those towns and cities on the Mississippi gulf coast which most people will never know about. Namely; Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi. Yeah, New Orleans will recover, but I bet south Mississippi does quicker since they aren't looking for a hand me down from the government, they know they have to do it themselves, and thus they aren't going to wait fifty years to get started.
