Day 5: Lower 9th Ward

Brad Pitt's "Make it Right 9" foundation were he has helped residents in the 9th ward get back on their feet and begin to build 100% energy free homes. These homes are built in 60-90 days. There were some really neat homes that are being built in a different way. Just to the right of the signs, is were the levee broke because of a barge that slammed into it and parked itself right over the homes on this street.

One of the homes that was rebuilt and 100% energy free.

Fats Damino's home and recording studio, an old famous recording artist from New Orleans.

You scream, I scream, We all scream for ICE CREAM! Ice cream on Jerry. The kids were super excited about getting ice cream from the ice cream man.

The steam boat operators home. In the late 1800's, this is where the operators would live and at the turn of the century they were moved to this position about 100 yards away from the river. They used to be located right on the river so that the boats would park right at the house.
