In terms of the big cities of this country, New Orleans is clearly one of the cities with the most unique character, ... What's happened goes well beyond the devastation of one city - it's a national tragedy.

Gregory Jenkins

I grew up in Baton Rouge and learned to be a musician down there [in New Orleans]. I call it the only city in America that has its own brand of music.
Randy Jackson
It's called Celebration on Ice. It's got everything from Ricky Martin (music) to football to baseball to cheerleaders to a heartfelt tribute to the city of New Orleans.
John Picano
You wouldn't believe what's happening here. Helicopters have been landing every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. Half of New Orleans is now living in Baton Rouge and there's no room to move. A guy I know couldn't sell his house for six months and he got 14 offers in one day.
Christopher Hannie
Once reconstruction really gets under way in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, we're expecting to see a surge in appliance manufacturers by mid-October, ... That could give some of the durable goods names a better profile.

Dan Parker
I think we suffered a little bit in New Orleans from the 'boy who cries wolf' syndrome.
Bob Woodruff
Housing is still a big issue. We can only move back employees who have been able to find a place to live back in New Orleans.
Alden J. Mcdonald Jr
I can't fathom the destruction. It's the scope of the loss. It's knowing how long it's going to take to get things back to normal. There are parts of New Orleans that will never be the same.
Gary Gaetti
New Orleans is flooding and southwest Louisiana is baking.
Kent Kuyper
They should rethink the entire flood protection system of New Orleans. It is a real hodgepodge of authority. If there was a coordinated effort, more could be done with less money.
Raymond Seed
Something's wrong with New Orleans. Somebody wants that city gone.
Jammal Brown

Richard Knight
The citizens of New Orleans have been through enormous displacement and generally speaking they're bursting at the seams with anger. They're angry at a lot of things. They're angry at no one in particular and everything in general.
Phil Anthony
I know it's terrible what happened in New Orleans, but the people in Mississippi aren't getting the same attention. My dad lost everything that he didn't pack in his car. I want to help the people of Mississippi. There are a lot of people there who have nothing now.
Shane Matthews
[Davis] does not indict the New Orleans police department. He, like the rest of us, are incredibly grateful for the heroic action that most of the officers.

Our food bank in New Orleans is completely inaccessible, so the staff that works there isn't even able to do some damage assessment to find out what's there.
Phil Zepeda
The media spent so much time and focus on New Orleans and its devastation, we all get cooked in the same pot.

New Orleans has lost the battle with the inevitable, and we will do the same.

Sometimes I want to cry when I see all that's happened in New Orleans. It was really hard to go back home and see the place like that ... but He won't put no more on you than you can handle. He's the greatest gift you'll ever have. ... Anybody who knows George Huff, they know that I love the Lord.
George Huff
We're going in the reverse of 46 of the top 50 cities in the United States. Almost everyone is going down, but we're going up. There is something going on in New Orleans that is not going on elsewhere.
Peter Scharf
It will reveal a lot about the power structure of New Orleans.
Lawrence Vale
I'm not saying that this would not have occurred in New Orleans in this situation, ... I am saying that there would have been less flooding if all the projects had been funded.
Mike Parker
This is a winter festival and, Katrina aside, Mother Nature has as much to say about turnout as New Orleans.
Mack Bradley
The homecoming of Jazz Fest is a key component to restoring the unique cultural fabric of New Orleans. Today is about the people of New Orleans.
Marvin E. Odum

I think people are buying out of early nostalgia and sadness. They are buying up things they loved about New Orleans.

Barry Kern
We have musicians coming from Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans to play in the band.

You really find out what's important in life. The things that I was worried about when I was living in New Orleans and everything was OK are really trivial compared to what really matters.
Jonathan Ruffin
It was just good old Creole food, good old-time New Orleans food. And he was good, damn good. You couldn't fry a chicken better than Austin. You couldn't stuff a pepper better than Austin Leslie.
Leah Chase
It's part of the culture of New Orleans. It's part of the soul.
Dickie Brennan
It's more than the people here. It shows that New Orleans can still do this.

Chris Lauer
We're looking forward to having them here and helping out New Orleans.
Karl Mayer
This is like a terrorist attack. With 9-11 they shut down five city blocks in New York City. This has shut down the whole city of New Orleans.

Stephen Perry
Locally the members of Wildlife and Fisheries were down in New Orleans fishing people out of the water. They were exposed to a lot of stress.

Everyone knows New Orleans was a marginal major league market. More and more, the NFL has come to rely on corporate dollars and New Orleans doesn't have a very large corporate base.
Gary Roberts
I was told New Orleans... wanted to go another direction. Through it, I learned a valuable lesson... That's the nature of the business.

Will George Bush be haunted by New Orleans to the last day of his presidency?
Chris Matthews
I believe come Monday, there will be probably 85, as parts of New Orleans open.
David O'connor
You just don't have to think about it too much because almost everybody is impoverished. Believe me, the wealthy citizens of New Orleans evacuated.

Houston is not a good shelter city, even if the hotels were not filled. But we have people from New Orleans and the mid-Gulf Coast. They have filled our hotel rooms and may have to leave.
Robert Eckels
We have to shore this thing up like a New Orleans levy.
Richard Carlson
The flooding is just everywhere... New Orleans, all through Mississippi and Alabama.

We've considered relocating, but it's kind of hard because home is home. I have a 93-year-old aunt with me and New Orleans is definitely home to her. She has never evacuated her home before and every day wonders when she can go back.
Charlette Ford
Essentially the health care infrastructure of New Orleans is gone it no longer exists.
Joe Cappiello

Erik Olson
We sometimes find ourselves at a loss as to whether we should be more appalled at the Bush Administration's ideological obsession, its incompetence, its arrogance, its anti-intellectualism, or its dishonesty, ... In New Orleans, we see all of these forces at work in a manner that the mainstream media finally finds itself unable to ignore.
Eric Alterman
It's all about New Orleans.
Elaine Petrocelli

One of my favorite tunes we cover is by Barry Cowsill, an artist I recently got into. He was a New Orleans native and recently passed away from hurricane Katrina.
Alfred Anderson
It's expensive enough to advertise in metropolitan New Orleans, but if you have to add in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Houston and Atlanta, you might as well run for president. I don't know what the answer is. And, of course, for direct mailing, they don't have their addresses.
Ed Renwick
What would have happened if, last September, Hurricane Ivan had veered 40 miles to the west, devastating the city of New Orleans?
