Disappearing Places

An archive and collective map of places that no longer exist, at least not as they once did.


New Orleans 2 Years Later

Posted On Saturday September 22, 2007 By Karen Gadbois

I have been taking photos of Hurricane/Flood damage for a year and a half. Everyday I see another story.

The entire Neighborhood just out of frame is overgrown and abandoned, this area is reverting to a natural state. Many people who lived here were elderly, or may have had flood insurance and homeowners but have been so beaten down by the process that they have not yet been able to rebuild.

Right now this is a Neighborhood fighting to not disappear, I am not sure if they will win or not.
