(((Chalmette)))

I'm from the New Orleans area, though around where I was sustained much less damage. I can't tell you how bad I've felt for St. Bernard, and how much I've admired the people there who have chosen to stay and fight for their community and rebuild. I know what you mean about community. Each area of New Orleans is its own community, in such a deep way.

I'm betting the lighthouse will be rebuilt. New Orleans has always treasured its history, and now more than ever.

I love to see the rebuilding. There are so many empty spaces inside me.
