Re-reading this today, I've found this statement the most telling: “I’m moving to New Orleans ’cause I want to.” That's the strength of character and determination that NOLA needs; the confidence that even though the future is unknown, that you'll find a way to contribute, to thrive, to succeed. It's not the obvious or easy choice of a place to live, because it's doesn't offer the same large hub or big spike of proven, established commercial and entrepreneurial activity. But it takes people like you to change that, to embrace the unknown and help create those success stories necessary for NOLA to grow. And that's what NOLA is looking forward to you bringing. Looking forward to saying "welcome home" :) Obviously, I loved this post and the decision.

I'm from New Orleans, moved to Los Angeles after the storm, and now live in DC...and have been trying to get back since 2005. This post helps me show people why exactly I'd want to do this, so good luck, and perhaps we shall run into each other one day! Thank you for this post!
