December 2007 is month 28 since Katrina and its time to shop again.

The Road home is back on track and the city is trying to move forward without Harry Lee, Eddie Jordan or Kathleen Blanco. The City Council approved the budget. The Inspector General and the three garbage contracts will be funded, but little else. Efforts to demolish the low income housing projects ignited fresh protests that once again have New Orleans front and center in the national eye. Then the state closed the tent city that had sprung up in Duncan Plaza just in time for the Sugar Bowl and the BCS Championship games.

Fox TV series K-ville is cancelled and the last new epsodes will be aired in December.  As odd as K-ville was it was embraced in the city and will be missed. With college football on hold until the bowls, it's all about the Saints and their bid for a highly unlikely wild card (ended in Chicago on 12/30/7).
