When the Levee Breaks

[miss_adventure]

I'm a NOLA ex-pat. Ran screaming from the place, though I still feel fondly towards that hot, swampy, vile-smelling town that just oozes history and attitude: NOLA is like an ex-significant other with whom I remained on good terms with after the break-up. Maybe we're not a couple anymore and I think it's deeply flawed, but I'd never wish pain on

Ah, the wonderful Clover Grill, which brags that its wonderful burgers are all cooked under "real American hubcaps". God, you are making me hungry just mentioning the place.

I love N.O., probably because I've never lived there. Don't worry, she'll be back, probably a little bit better than before.

Don't forget the pecan waffles, or the grilled cheese.

San Francisco rose again after the 1906 earthquake. I hope NOLA can do a similar (if much soggier) phoenix act.

"The Soggy Phoenix" sounds like a good name for a NOLA-based band, doesn't it?

Or a cafe!

That's it. I'm moving down there, and opening a cafe/ bar in the Quarter called the Soggy Phoenix, which will feature live entertainment from the Soggy Phoenix band three nights a week!

... or not. But it's a neat idea.
