It hardly feels like its been five years since that devastating storm ripped through the gulf coast. I remember being a freshman in high school, coming home and turning on the TV to see boats traveling what used to be streets, helicopter rescues from rooftops, and of course the Superdome where thousands took refuge. Now, five years later, there is no water engulfing New Orleans, the looting has stopped, and new levees have been erected. But the scars of what happened are visible nearly everywhere you go. GOOD compiled a picture slide show of graffiti throughout the city, expressing and reminding us of the feelings felt by New Orleanians during and after the hurricane. -Braden
