Columnist Chris Rose moved to The Times-Picayune in the summer of 1984. On the Monday after Hurricane Katrina, he began to cover the early stirrings of life in streets and has stayed with that beat ever since, chronicling the city as it puts itself back together, shakes off its trauma and tries to find footing as a viable community.
