I haven&rsquo;t been to New Orleans for about 10 years, but I fell in love with the place  the fact that I like jazz of the kind played at Preservation Hall might have something to do with it  when I first visited in 1968 or so. Although the climate is truly deplorable  I remember an August so hot and sticky you couldn&rsquo;t walk three steps without having your shirt drenched in sweat  the people were laid-back and welcoming, and I saw less evidence of overt racial problems than in some other southern cities. Of course the government is corrupt and a good bit of the atmosphere is sleazy, but that&rsquo;s part of New Orleans&rsquo; unique charm.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb <em>I don&rsquo;t know if the city will ever come back to what it was. Yes, they can rebuild, but a new New Orleans would lack much of the attraction the old New Orleans had. The very oldness, the sense of continuity and history that helped to make New Orleans so curiously charming, could well be gone.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><p>\tMis en ligne le 3 septembre 2005 \u00e0 10H38<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Nouvelle Orl\u00e9ans, ou New Orleans, l&rsquo;une des villes am\u00e9ricaines qui portent le plus les traces de la France du pass\u00e9 et o\u00f9 s&rsquo;y rencontrent les traditions du jazz, o\u00f9 le racisme y est bien moins pr\u00e9sent que dans le reste du Sud, tout cela donne \u00e0 La Nouvelle Orl\u00e9ans un charme \u00e9trange, ou bien&hellip;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1377],"class_list":["post-66770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bloc-notes","tag-bock"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66770\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
