Children Quotes
Of course, my thoughts immediately go out to the children that are in the area. In the New Orleans area, there are families that couldn't get out. The children are now on survival mode.

Deal Quotes

New Orleans blossomed into one of the most popular points of embarkation for cruise ship customers and was on pace to break the 1 million-passenger mark.

Ask Quotes
New Orleans and its music were meant to be. We couldn't ask for a better symbol of hope than the houses that are beginning to come out of the ground in the New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village.

On behalf of Habitat for Humanity International, we thank Dave Matthews Band for this most generous and sustaining contribution.

Along Quotes
New Orleans - along with San Francisco - is the greatest collection of 18th-, 19th- and early-20th-century residential architecture in the United States.

I don't think you build a bad 21st-century copy of a brilliant 19th-century building.
