Recommend visiting the site with a tour to hear the history of not only Hurricane Katrina but the aftermath and the story behind the memorial. The amazing culture of this city was built and maintained by the people of New Orleans. It is pertinent to pay respect to those who lost their lives in this horrible event.

There is so little justice in the world - it delighted me to see this statue of Ignatius J Reilly on Canal Street in New Orleans. The history of Ignatius J Reilly, as related in the pulitzer-prize winning novel, A Confederacy of Dunces , by American novelist John Kennedy Toole which reached publication in 1980, eleven years after Toole's suicide. Its central character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is an educated but slothful 30-year-old man living with his mother in the Uptown neighborhood of early-1960s New Orleans who, in his quest for employment, has various adventures with colorful French Quarter characters.
