Good news out of New Orleans...well at least better news!
New Orleanians Work to Save Historic Homes - Yahoo! News: "Early on, many preservation advocates feared that entire neighborhoods would be razed in the name of jump-starting the rebuilding process, but that scenario appears increasingly unlikely.
'The war may be over in terms of any wholesale demolition,' said Camille Strachan, a New Orleans resident and former National Trust board member.
The city's preliminary survey of damage also has yielded encouraging news for preservation-minded residents.
Michael Centineo, director of the city Department of Safety and Permits, said in mid-November that inspectors had surveyed the exteriors of 114,127 buildings. They slapped green tags on 31,662 buildings with minimal or no damage and yellow tags on 79,325 with only partial structural damage."
