Blog of the Week - Chris Rose

Although this blog isn't really a blog but a newspaper column, I think it is still worth its own mention as blog of the week.  Chris Rose was an entertainment columnist (I think) pre-Katrina, but post-Katrina, his column shifted to more of life in New Orleans.  He is blunt, to the point, and honest in a way that only those in New Orleans can be about themselves.  Warning - some of the content is a little inappropriate and contains language.  However, Rose has found a way to convey life in the city since the hurricanes in a way that I don't think anyone else has.  He shows that it is not about race or socio-economic level (the hurricane didn't hit just poor neighborhoods), but that everyone in the city was affected.  I would suggest reading all of his hurricane articles (although, again, some are inappropriate) in order to get a feeling of how New Orleans has come back from the hurricane.  Through his honest writings, you can see a city slowly rebuilding (emotionally and physically).
