Campus Crusade

Campus Crusade by Editor B.
College students from Colorado doing the "Katrina Spring Break" thing with Campus Crusade for Christ. They just gutted this house on Iberville, around the corner from our house. Look at the size of that pile of debris!

What's the status of the landfills around there? Where are all of these piles going?

A real good question. Debris is not just from gutting houses, but also from wholesale demolition of houses.

At an estimated 275 cubic yards of debris per home, the Corps is concerned that approved landfills may max out before demolition is complete.

Glad to see the Corps can't do math. 275 cu yd = 7425 cu ft, or, a 740 sq ft house, 10 feet high, completely full. 27.5 cu yd sounds more like it.

Unless they're figuring on bulldozing everything

I think the Corps estimate is for tear-downs, not gutting.

A friend of mine from the University of Florida did the Campus Crusade thing in NOLA on her spring break. It made me happy that college students would do something other than go the beach and get drunk on their spring break, and that NOLA could benefit from these young people and their energy.

I find it uplifting when non-New Orleanians care about us.
