A friend just read my blog reposts about Wendy, the bartender we all knew, who was murdered just a few short blocks away, early Saturday evening ( Read more... )

You don't know me, but you made a post to bad service, and I saw Marigny in the post and realized you were in NO. Then I started reading your Journal and found this post.

I understand exactly how you feel about New Orleans. It is how I feel. I want with everything in me to live there. I will make sure in the next 10 years it happens, one way or another! It feels like home even though I have never been there. The scariness does nothing to deter me. It just feels right.

Thank you for this entry. I don't feel quite so strange!

If it feels like home, it is home. I feel like I waited much too long to finally just come home.
Don't wait if you can help it.

I came for a little local music festival in the bywater, in may. I went back to NH, put the house on the market, quit my job, got on craigslist and found an apartment in the bywater, loaded up everything I could fit into the car, sold the rest, and was back home in New Orleans by July.

You're not strange :) The city takes her lovers, and once she's taken you....your heart is hers.

That is I think the best quote I have ever seen about New Orleans.

I hope not to wait that long, but I have a kid, an ailing mother, and a quasi-husband. If it was just me, I would be there by now.

I just feel it in my bones, New Orleans is home. Thank you!
