An American originally from Pakistan
- -He said that before Katrina, the French Quarter would have been packed with people on night like tonight and we would not have driven through it so easily.
- -Usually this way from the Sugar Bowl straight through Jazz Fest.
- -You can get into all of the popular places now very easily. Before Katrina, only if you were lucky.
- -Downtown business areas are recovering much faster than the rest of New Orleans.
Another driver
