A close friend of mine is an artist from Gulf Port, Mississippi. Like most people in the area she wakes up everyday to a demolished wasteland she once knew as her home. When I found this article I knew it would become a part of my blog. I won't give the article away but my heart grew butterflies after reading this spectacular piece. A local artist, Robert Vicknair, founded a program that transforms run down houses (demolished by Katrina) and turns them into art galleries for a night. It made me think of "Cinderella" meets "This Old House." I think it's awesome despite the havoc and horror Katrina caused New Orleans (and the surrounding areas like Gulf Port, MI) that people find goodness and beauty in situations like this one.
