In the Lower Ninth ward, the collapsing houses are too dangerous to even try to retrieve belongings.

Six months after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is a city of revelry --- and a city of despair. A city where some neighborhoods are up and running, and others are a wasteland. A city where some have found a new calling, and some can no longer cope. Robert Siegel and Michele Norris report from New Orleans.

This report was produced by Andrea Hsu.
