Amid all the stomach-churning news from NO, one bit that brought a smile to my face:
Roommates Michael Seward, 45, and Jesse Rowe, 28, went out Sunday to buy a battery-powered radio. They don’t have a car to get out of town, but they feel perfectly safe in their second-story apartment.
“The house we live in was built for Napoleon’s nephew,” Seward said. “It’s been here a while.”
Seward pointed out that the Quarter was on some of the highest land in the city, “on the upper lip of the bowl.”
Rowe said “hysterical” family and friends were calling to beg them to flee to Mississippi. Seward, who fled from Mississippi, quipped: “That’s a fate worse than death.”
