The 9th ward revamp project. I have decided to post the photos of what some houses look like, and the newer houses- photos of Brad Pitt's building project.

I was waving to you from my hotel room buster. It's too bad I didn't know what direction to wave in. :) You look stupid waving in all directions...

I still want to know how that house floats...

Ya, it look more like artificial reef than a boat cic...
Great pics though, any more?

Yah I have more jinx- they aren't very good. Let me have another look.

Yah on second veiwing- they aren't very good.

Here's a link- you are right about the house jinx. It's like an anchor but floats.
