Katrina Anniversary More Upbeat Than In Past

Written by Pat's Papers | Monday, 30 August 2010 8:37 AM

It’s been five years since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans. But this year’s anniversary was markedly different from those in years past says the Times-Picayune. Instead of “stunned grief,” the tenor of this year’s ceremony was more upbeat, with a focus on how far the city has come.  President Obama was in town for the commemoration, as was his family and Sandra Bullock.

The Times-Picayune says one of the photos a former staffer took in the wake of Katrina has become the an “emblem” for the disaster on the HBO series “Treme.” Showing a couple in the mold-spotted house, the photograph is featured prominently in the show’s opening credits.

Scroll down to see the opening credits of Treme. The photo appears around mark :20.
