Kross Kuntry Adventure: NOLA Day 2 / Ninth Ward

Wednesday | June 18, 2009

We met up with the birthday girl for brunch an cupcakes.



Brunch consisted of Fried Chicken Salad.



And a "Breathtaking Beef" Po-Boy slathered in horseradish mayo. SO DELICIOUS.



After making a hefty $3 profit on the diner slot machine...



Smershy's wonderful roommate Jeanne took us on a tour of the Ninth Ward - the area devastated by hurricane Katrina.




The first things we saw were some of the new developments spearheaded by Brad Pitt & Co.

They are very interestingly designed with solar panels and all that shiz.






As you drive along though, you see that many of these newer homes are interspersed with lots of completely missing or deserted homes. A lot of the hurricane damage remains untouched.







Sadface!









Anyway, quite an interesting area to visit.

We also stopped by Jackson Square for some shopping!



And ended up at the wonderful jewelry store Mignon Faget!



On Peniston Street!



Gosh I love Nola.
