As Katrina’s two year anniversary approaches New Orleans is getting the predictable attention from the media, mostly retrospective looks at how little has been done over the past two years to shore New Orleans against renewed ruin from future disaster.

While we agree that pathetic little has been done to protect New Orleans against the very force of nature that devastated the city two years ago, New Orleans is still a vibrantly layered, bursting city, that refuses to let its future be a constant retelling of Katrina.

LVHRD member Rob Hudak’s latest project, Type NO+, is a website dedicated to accentuating that positive flow in New Orleans music, food, dance, and art.

New Orleans is no longer underwater. True, there’s still more than a lot to be done for the people our government has left displaced and homeless as a result of Katrina, but celebrating the life of New Orleans instead of looking at the city with pity is the best way to show the world that the city is free and alive.
