You all know that communication with Algiers, other than the Point, has been intermittent at best. As a result, we’ve not had a lot of information. I have, however, been talking with a couple of people there, and one of them drove out to Baton Rouge last night so he could upload these for you. Thank you, Phil!

Phil took pictures all over, so when you visit his site, use the “up” button to go up a level or two. On each page of photos, there are small right-left arrows that scroll the pictures horizontally. He has shots from Jefferson Parish, the East Bank, the River… and it’s a sobering view. The photos are here: http://www.nopd4.org/Algiers.htm, and the link has also been added to polimom.com.
