My friend BicycleMark reports live from the Gulf Coast with some podcast reports (i.e., audio) and more:
I'm down here in Mississippi... spent the last 3 days in New Orleans meeting with organizations and locals to talk about the rebuilding effort and what is getting in the way of it. Things are very scary in much of the city here... never mind scary.. just sad. And then today I've come over to the coast of Mississippi and it is a whole other level of sad.. with entire houses just... gone.. neighborhoods.. gone.Any semblance of George Bush giving a damn about having lost an entire American city? Gone.
More from Mark's trip, including blog entries here, and podcasts here. He'll be having some video blog entries soon as well. Mark does an amazing job at audio and video reporting, he's like a very cool NPR - so please do check it out.
