We also have areas where the houses are barely standing up. No one in my town acts as though we only have beautiful victorian homes.
I do not know how you decided that I criticized the architecture of an entire city when I am very clearly talking about certain sections of the town.

If I can correct that impression where possible, it's the least I can do for my city and its proud and unique culture.Dinah, WHERE did I say that the city was made up of shacks where everyone lived? I feel certain that anyone who reads my posts realizes that I am only talking about certain areas of New Orleans. I am going to repeat this, I did not say that New Orleans is made up of shacks.

I am absolutely not going to say that I won't comment on New Orleans again. I'm still sending a small amount of support monthly and I care very much about what happens there. As I told you last night, New Orleans is one of my favourite cities.
