The impacts from Katrina are still slowing be repaired, but this is promising news. The NY Times reports that
the bridge connecting Bay St Louis is finally reopening. While it was disheartening to see it so far from complete when I visited in November, it is reassuring and hopeful to see how quickly the finished it. But it is just one piece in a very complex puzzle.
Mayor Favre is still living in a trailer, and the old City Hall downtown is
still empty. He has moved municipal functions to a former utility company
building on the highway. Downtown, on a deserted street, an injunction scrawled
on a vacant frame house — “Please respect our loss. Do not enter” — seems
superfluous, as there is nobody around to read it.
