We woke up this morning to the sound of major demolition. Sure enough, they’re tearing down Physicians Hospital, just like we heard they would. I…
If you’re from New Orleans, or if you care about the city, I wouldn’t advise you to watch this allegedly funny video. No, it’s not…
Xy and I made a little video to mark five months since Katrina. It’s kind of like our own miniature state of the union address.
