Downtown Parking

Holiday Inn high-rise with a large clarinet mural on its facade; military Humvees and jeeps are parked on the street below near a sign reading "Downtown Parking."

Collection

Lorraine Monseu

Humvees and jeeps used by the National Guard are parked outside the Holiday Inn on Loyola Avenue, across from New Orleans City Hall. Photo taken 22 months after Katrina. Because of a shortage of police and the high crime rate, National Guardmen still patrol the city at night.
