Finding The Holy Grail

A lot has happened since I first wrote about finding Free WiFi at Molly's back in early August, but it's not like the issue has ever gone away from my mind.

Well... the first BIG improvement to New Orleans reality post-Katrina has just been announced and it's pretty damned amazing. New Orleans, and NOT San Francisco (sorry Gavin) is going to be the first city in the U.S. to offer CITY-WIDE FREE WI-FI.

Supposedly, it's already installed in the CBD and in the French Quarter, but I haven't yet had a chance to check it out.

Obviously... it would be nice if the city could move as quickly on the "little" things, like getting all the CRAP off the streets, or fixing the levees, or getting people back in their homes, but maybe a leapfrog kind of thing like this is just hte kind of "action plan" that's needed to get the other stuff moving as well.

Let's hope so.
