Sliver By The River

Sliver By The River

The Sliver by the River is an area of New Orleans, Louisiana closest to the Mississippi River that escaped major flooding after Hurricane Katrina hit the city on August 29, 2005. It exists on higher ground made up of the natural levee built up by hundreds of years of flooding before there was a human settlement in the area. It includes the French Quarter, Warehouse District, and Garden District areas of New Orleans. The Rand Corporation estimates that by 2008, this area will have 110 percent of its pre-Katrina population while the rest of the city will be struggling to half of its pre-Katrina population density.update after|2008|12|31
