......as well as an important oil center and a major port. Well, there is a lot of shipping through the port of NOLA but that really wasn't long affected by Katrina. The point is that NOLA is no more or less important than the next city. The city of NOLA could blow away and the port would keep operating as long as river access is available (and much of the shipping is now directed at ports on up the river, like Baton Rouge). Where do you think the people who service the New Orleans port and the oil center live ......Birmingham? You know what, sh*t for brains........you don't know squat about much of anything. New Orleans has been and continues to be an important city. Its more than just about tourism. The oil industry, although much eclipsed by Houston, still has offices there and NASA has an important operation in East NO. Its why Americans were so angered by the indifference of wingers like yourself and your president. And it will be an important city to the wingers of the future because it will be remembered as the city that destroyed/almost destroyed the Republican party. Seattle is a tourist destination but there are other industries here besides tourism. Seattle is a tourist destination about like Dallas is. Which isn't much of one. Well Dallas must have a lot of tourism because tourism is an important industry in Seattle.
