NOLA Blight-Style

I recently joined a recreational flag football team named Team Blight Reduction.  In honor of our 5 touchdown loss the other night, I thought I would snap some photos of a few blighted buildings.

Nearly every American city has its fare share of run-down buildings, and all things considered downtown NOLA is in pretty solid shape.  But if you look around for it, you can find some smatterings of urban decay.  Sometimes an eye-sore, I see these as a strangely comforting reality of living in a city.

At the very least, a run-down empty building can provide for some quality signage.
