NOLA recovers because just the other day, part of the Hard Rock Hotel came down causing a real scare among residents and tourists. An upscale construction site stands firm, defying the dry winds sweeping across the city. The sky looks bruised and surly, like a driver with a punctured wheel. The Mississippi River, comfortably perched along the lively town, mirrors the temperament; grey and frothy. The Hard Rock Hotel New Orleans is an upcoming building that’s located strategically in the historic French Quarter. Sandwiched between relatively shorter buildings, the eight-story building mirrors the mood of a city that has been defiant in the face of calamities.
