i'm sorry, lol, i've been here a couple of times, ive been exploring for about a year, and also have done "solo" trips to abandoned hospitals, tunnels, etc. no ghost here, there, or anywhere. i DO admit, that when jay and grant, (ghost hunters on sci-fi) go somewhere that i'm about to walk in alone, its a little intimidating. but never did i ever see or here ghost. maybe its because i simply don't believe in them...

A lot of this was never restored as it was no longer needed. Many people who relocated due to the storm chose to stay in other places and continue their lives in a new location with new opportunities. That isn't always a bad thing. What should be happening is that some of the sites should be torn down and let the land go wild until it is needed again. My opinion though... think Detroit.

Interesting. As much as it was tragic, the pictures taken by Motts in the aftermath of it all are quite exquisite. Thanks Motts! Another successful gallery!

It's humbling to be reminded that Mother Nature is in charge. I cannot begin to fathom what these people experienced on that horrific day in 2005.

Jason, you do have a point. I am not suer why it still looks like that, although it was comforting to read that Motts said a few blocks over they were rebuilding. :)

Oh, that's heartbreaking. That interactive panorama photo is fabulous. It shows the destruction and abandonment very well. I feel like I'm standing there.

Well as tragic as this is, everyone needs to keep things in perspective. As a former Florida Gulf Coast resident, I've lived through decades worth of hurricanes and destruction. We always rebuild. East of New Orleans from Bay St. Louis, MO to Pensacola, FL, people rebuilt after Katrina like they always had after a major hurricane: within months. So why is the 9th Ward still looking like this?
