Crescent City Dreams


I saw this the other day when we were at the BBQ and Blues fest in Lafayette square. I was suddenly so overcome with emotion that I had to photograph it. I walked the narrow street four or five blocks until I was close enough that I could capture it. Whenever I see this building from the highway or down in the CBD it makes me wonder when it will ever be re-built and what it would be like to work in a hotel that size. Here in New Orleans, the city lives on through dreams. Everyone has one, mine is to have a good salaried position working for Hyatt one day. It is the one unifying theme that has become our official language. I suppose that’s part of what drew me to this position. Being part of a team that helps people to come home and have a home. Is there any simpler dream?
