San Antonio Express-News

In the two and a half years since Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans residents are still struggling to rebuild. Despite the frustrating pace of recovery, the city's spirit could not be quelled during the third Mardi Gras since the storm. Christopher Bailey, 22, smokes outside his FEMA trailer in Chalmette. The trailers are still a common sight in St. Bernard parish. Bailey has lived in his trailer for two years but hopes to get an apartment voucher soon.
