Live from Chattanooga

September 1, 2008

I come to you live from the Panera Bread in downtown Chattanooga (which has free wi-fi, which is why I'm here.)

So far, everything in New Orleans looks like a best case scenario. The mayor just announced that -- if things continue to go well -- he could start allowing people back into the city in the next 24-36 hours. Of course, I've heard the return to NOLA after an evacuation is just as horrid a trip as the drive outward, so I'm going to rest up for another 17 hours trip, if it comes to that.

For those of you have never been to Chatty before, I highly recommend. They're downtown is truly amazing. It very clean, spacious and safe, judging from the number of families and kids walking around. There's bars, restaurants, shopping and even several entertainment venues.

Tonight, I'm probably going to take in a minor league baseball game with the local team, the Lookouts. (Named after the big Lookout Mountain that casts its shadow across the city.)

Then, tomorrow, will I be headed home to New Orleans? We'll see.
