French Quarter Life Is Back to What Passes For Normal
When we arrived home from our hurricane sponsored trip, I quickly saw that things were back to normal. People were walking around with drinks in hand. My husband had to inch through the streets, carefully dodging party people who, rather like rutting deer, will step into the street at any point with no warning or thought.
As we searched in vain for a parking spot, we grinned and said, “We’re home.”
The only visible damage to our corner of the universe is some missing plaster on the exterior wall of our favorite bar, The Jimani. There’s another chunk missing on the same building over Evelyn’s Place. Maybe it was bound to happen when they hung new gutter pipes and painted.
I don’t see the hanging signs for either business. Hopefully, they were brought in prior to the storm and will be re-hung soon. People seem to like to take pictures under them. Bring your camera!

I’m glad things are ok. When I was there last, I remember it seeming a little off from previous visits in someways, but in others, like nothing had happened with Katrina. I hope everything is ok this week with Ike on its way.
