Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network
By Robert Lockard
It’s been more than two years since Hurricane Katrina. The water has receded and hundreds of thousands of people have returned to their homes in New Orleans, but much more effort is needed to resurrect this city to its past greatness. Actor Brad Pitt is doing his best to lend a hand to this recovery process, according to this article on The Times-Picayune. Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought a palace in the French Quarter of New Orleans earlier this year with the help of their broker, Eleanor Farnsworth, the president of Prudential Gardner, Realtors. Farnsworth is an exclusive member of the Luxury Real Estate Board of Regents.
Brad Pitt’s “Make it Right” campaign is ambitious in scope. He wants to build hundreds, maybe even thousands, of homes for people in some of the hardest-hit districts of this city. One person, even a celebrity, can’t bring about these great changes by himself, but he can certainly point the spotlight on the need to do so and hopefully inspire more people to join this fine cause and take care of the least of these our brethren. I’m currently working on a City Spotlight on New Orleans in the spring 2008 issue of LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine, and I look forward to sharing stories of hope like this one.
