Well, the city has recovered in many ways since Katrina. For the first year, it was difficult as a visitor to get service at restaurants, etc. because many of the lower paying jobs went unfilled. I recall late in 2005 walking into a restaurant with two dozen tables filled with people and there were only two people working: the cook and the server. I left when I realized I was going to be there all day. That situation has obviously changed in the past three years and it seems fully back to life although there are still quite obvious signs of the devastation that was done.
