Episode Overview
In this episode, host Kevin O'Connor explores the vibrant French Quarter alongside Lary Hesdorffer, the Director of the Vieux Carre Commission, to assess the neighborhood's recovery post-storm. At a home in Holy Cross, master carpenter Norm Abram is busy working on the side porch, while homeowner Rashida Ferdinand diligently strips paint from historic windows for reuse. Paint color consultant Louis Aubert demonstrates how he is revitalizing the area by applying historically accurate, vibrant color schemes to homes. Meanwhile, Norm and Kevin join volunteers at Musicians' Village to assist in rebuilding efforts by raising walls, laying decking, and installing windows, helping restore the community one house at a time.
