Seen on the Street

Quite literally...

Big Man and I found this spray-painted in bright orange on the sidewalk on Race Street in the (lower) Lower Garden District, near the Mojo Coffee House, just off Magazine Street:

My life
My love
My city
My New Orleans


How could you find this, read it, and not get a lump in your throat? In what other American city are the citizens proclaiming their loyalty and love in such an emotional and public way? Of course it has to do, at least partially, with Katrina and its aftermath, but still..

File this under "Only in New Orleans."
