Keller Williams Family Reunion is in New Orleans this year. Every time I travel to a new city for business, I love to get to know the city a bit better because you never know when you might be back! New Orleans is an incredibly special city for its rich history from being owned by three countries in less than 20 days to of course Mardi Gras and the famous Bourbon street. Most recently New Orleans is famous for the horrible destruction that hurricane Katrina left behind. Being from Seattle, WA I have been really sheltered from such destruction (except for our occasional earthquake).
It has been an amazing experience seeing this city now in its time of rebirth and rebuilding. From the amazing 2009 New Orleans Saints season and their Superbowl win to the rebuilding of the neighborhoods in the multiple Wards that were destroyed. Attached are some photos from my tour of New Orleans including: the financial district, garden district, the city park and of course the Ninth Ward.
Being a realtor I was amazed to learn that there were over 250,000 homes were destroyed and over 900,000 homes were damaged! Only about 80% of the population has returned from being displaced across the United States.
