New Orleans Is Recession Proof, Not Bullet Proof
Category: Been down so long looks like up to me
By Gabriella Kessler on February 25, 2009 New Orleans proved yesterday that it was indeed recession resistant, as it enjoyed its largest Mardi Gras crowds since Katrina hit in 2005. Even though it feels like the memory of packed restaurants and overcrowded bars is already turning into an urban legend, for New Orleans that reality is very much alive. Unfortunately, the parade was scattered with violence outbursts, with multiple shootings reported across the city that resulted in 12 people being injured. Despite the gunshots, financially speaking, New Orleans managed to party like it's 1999. Source: WWLTVComments

February 26, 2009 01:47 PM Yeah, but pre-recession and Katrina they wouldnt settle for anything less than 30 gun shot injuries. Its like they've taken a pay cut.
