Shannan Cvitanovic
Shannan epitomizes the best of what will rebuild New Orleans: the ability to see both inspiration and renewal in disaster. Her quaint home that faces a streetcar depot has been in the family for years. After the post-Katrina curfew was lifted, she was finally allowed back into the neighborhood to see how her house had faired.
The first thing she noticed was how the old metal awning that used to sit over her porch's delicate gingerbread fretwork had been unceremoniously ripped off and dumped into the middle of the street by Katrina.
