non v’accorgete voi che noi siam vermin
nati a forma l’angelica farfalla,
che vola a la giustizia sanza schermi?
--Purgatorio, X, 124-127
"Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under a lava flood of taxes and frauds and maladministrations so that it has become only a study for archaeologists. Its condition is so bad that when I write about it, as I intend to do soon, nobody will believe I am telling the truth. But it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
--Lafcadio Hearn, 1879
NOLAFugees.com is a bi-weekly internet magazine based in New Orleans. Our motto: Nec Spe Nec Metu, "neither hope nor fear." We offer neither elegiac laments for the past nor bold visions of the future. We leave the “historic opportunity” for other outlets.
We focus on covering New Orleans as it exists today. We’re not anxious to “preserve the spirit of the city;” neither do we hold dear the dream of a “newer, better” New Orleans, desperate to forget. Rather, we choose to ride along the flood line, floating on an air mattress, drinking ruby red and vodkas, and checking things out, refugees in our own zip code.
Since November 2005, NOLAFugees.com has made little distinction between fact and fiction. This is less a studied aesthetic stance than it is a reflection of our lack of faith in either. The reality we live in has proven too flexible and precludes such distinctions. Most of what you read in NOLAFugees.com is as true as anything else. What we do believe is that New Orleans is, more than ever, the craziest place in North America.
