[StBernard] Full steam ahead on da Civic Center?

[Westley Annis]

We are looking forward to the dance review returning to the Civic Center
this year {The Dance Connection review in June}.  

Yes, the storm was an opportunity to restore, renew.  Let's all continue our
best effort at this opportunity for the next generations.

Woooo. This one's most certainly a "gift" from the Federal Government.
Before Katrina, it appeared the auditorium's fate was doomed. Many felt it
was too expensive (not feasible) to renovate the building which was in such
ill-repair.  Perhaps a school board takeover/buy was inevitable?

 

Then came da storm, and it appears a significant amount of money will be
poured into repairing it to near-perfect condition. 

 

That's a gift from FEMA, but took God's hand to make it work out that way.
