Forgotten

We are approaching the fourth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The local newspaper is running a series starting on Wednesday of this week. The governor and first lady are coming to celebrate the progress in rebuilding that the coast has made in four years. I'm waiting to see if the national media covers the anniversary. It will be interesting to see if the Mississippi Gulf Coast where the hurricane actually hit, is only a footnote to what is happening in New Orleans, as has been the case in the national media's Katrina coverage. Are we still "The Forgotten Coast" four years after the event?
