I think it is great. All the people who go will find out that the city is rebuilding nicely and there is no reason not to vacation there. They need the revenue too. We were there for a week and just loved everything there.

It's great to see the very positive actitud that the people that live in New Orleans have towards a better future for that city and that is reflected by Cindy's positive message. :)

Yes, the lucky people who went to the getogether, they actually saw a little of the damage still there and also got to see how all the people there are working hard to get their homes and businesses in running order. Bless them. They do not deserve any more misery from Mother Nature.

Charlotte deserves an All-Star Game pretty soon, because of their new arena. Plus, the city of Charlotte overall would be a great place to host an All-Star Weekend. However, if anybody was to get it over us, I'm glad it's New Orleans. It's good to see them move one step closer to getting things back to normal. I'm sure we'll get it in 2009, anyway.

This will be a fun week...esp. for someone, like me, since I'm a big Hornets and NBA fan.
