There are a lot of wealthy, notable and famous people who call New Orleans home. I wasn't aware that Harry Connick Jr. had left, though. Where did he go, anyway? The weather is really miserable there. I think that weighs heavily on many people, especially people getting older. But there has been a stable upper class in New Orleans since it began as a city. There really isn't much close contact between the social classes in most of America, and I would be surprised if New Orleans was an exception. My understanding is that it is a stratified place. I cannot imagine people leaving because there are a lot of blacks there, since that has always been true. It didn't just happen overnight. A lot of young people want to live in New Orleans. I was watching interviews with flood victims in the French Quarter, and some of them had come from other places to start businesses there.
