Vide Poche - Empty Pockets -
The old town of Carondelet,
The Bermuda Trianlge of Saint Louis.
Life buzzes by us at a faster pace each day.
We are constantly trying to play catch up or to
figure out where we are.
Interstates have cut through neighborhoods,
splitting the city and communities. Leaving on one side,
a remant of what was, and the other completely cut off.
Preservation in this town had an unfortunate kick to the gut.
In a time when a generation should have been keeping what could help the future ones, it was paid to tear them down. Kick the old hand made bricks to the ground, and build monuments to money.
I guess we all have questions on why we desire to go back in time...
To meet our relatives? Where we came from? If we discover our heritage will it help us better discover ourselves? To better appreciate what we have now? The fact that our old kin had worked themselves to the bone to get what we have in a seconds time?
Well, this is my attempt to collect, share, love, and distribute lost and old information, because ee truly cannot go forward, unless we look back...
