Sound off: A letter to the editor

After years of touting New Orleans' culture as a path for rebuilding, Mayor Mitch Landrieu seems to have forgotten: It's about the cultural economy!

By enforcing an outdated police ordinance, the city is killing off our music, just as surely as BP is killing off our food. Remember how the "Big Easy" movie brought Cajun music to our city? HBO's "Treme" will do the same for brass bands.

Give the tourists what they want!
