Halloween Returns to New Orleans as Katrina Haunts Fade
New Orleans embraces Halloween with Bourbon Street glow and elaborate costumes two months after Katrina wrecked the city. French Quarter revives with bars, relief workers, and a carnival mood despite damage. Residents and visitors describe a city rebuilding, gathering for a “Mardi Goth” spectacle while some neighborhoods remain wrecked and trick or treating is limited to certain areas.
