Hurricane Katrina Tour
Learn the history of the original city, the French Quarter, and why it was built at this particular location along the Mississippi River. We'll drive past an actual levee that "breached" and see the resulting devastation that displaced hundreds of thousands of U.S. residents. The direct connection between America's disappearing coastal wetlands, oil & gas pipelines, levee protection and hurricane destruction will be explained.
This tour will travel through neighborhoods such as Lakeview, Gentilly, New Orleans East, and the Ninth Ward. We will also ride past the colorful Musicians' Village homes being constructed by Habitat for Humanity in the upper Ninth Ward. After this tour, you'll have a better understanding of events pre and post Katrina and the Rebirth of New Orleans!
