Postcard From New Orleans

In New Orleans:

• The city's new waterfront park (on a narrow strip of land accessible by two pedestrian bridges) will be ready come fall.
• Homicides jumped by 14 percent in 2011.
• Broken streetlights are to blame for a 40 car pile-up that killed two and injured 61.
• With two major bowl games but a week apart, the city is gearing up for some serious tourism.
