what is nola?


I went to school in New Orleans, LA (NOLA) way before Katrina. It was and remains a city with its own culture, extraordinary music, food and architecture. All that and the sense of pride that New Orleanians always had still remains. What is different now is a sense of optimism, a post-Katrina bounce back that is palbable everywhere in the air.

 In the midst of all this Tulane University has emerged as the de facto hub for social entrepeneurship activities related to NOLA. And the school of architecture is now a key player in the rebuilding of the city.

This page started out as a way to track architectural and other happenings related to the rebuilding of NOLA but has expanded its reach beyond.

Comments, suggestions and ideas about NOLA, architecture, art, design and anything in between are welcome.

A new program called NOLAbound is determined to prove that New Orleans is indeed one of the "coolest" places to start a business, as Inc. magazine called it earlier this year."  continue...
