One of the things we did in New Orleans is attend a benefit at Tipitina's to raise money for their foundation. I'm neither the first nor the last to tell you that there is still a long way to go in renewing New Orleans, and that the reconstruction is very uneven.
In the search for an easy to understand summary of the reconstruction process, I came across the graphic animation from the Times Picayune. These flash animations show not just the march of the floodwaters, but the uneven progress of rebuilding through density maps of building permits, home sales, and debris removal.
