Fear and sadness in New Orleans after the attack: ‘We cannot let the terrorists win’
Bourbon Street, the legendary street that is the symbol of the New Orleans Mardi Gras and all-night revelry, reopened to the public on Thursday. Music drifting through the doors of its bars strives to recreate an air of normalcy. Street vendors, as on countless other days, offer necklaces in Mardi Gras colors — red, green, and yellow — alongside charms meant to ward off the evil eye.
