Bloggers return to New Orleans

New Orleans blogger Rob, at Realitique, has a compelling post on his return to New Orleans a couple of weeks ago:

On September 19, A. and I returned to New Orleans to check the apartment and pick up some items and a few trapped pets. Aside from the damage, two oddities stood out the entire time we were in the city: the military presence and the post-apocalyptic, ghost-town feel. We saw few people, but what few we saw were mostly in humvees or manning checkpoints.

Sadly, oyster, from the New Orleans blog Your Right Hand Thief, did not fair well.
