New Orleans Needs Ideas!

New Orleans holds a special spot in my heart as the birthplace of my personal and professional passions. Food, wine, restaurants, and entertaining are a way of life in that city, and a little storm a few years ago still threatens the city I and many others hold dear.

IdeaVillage is a group of passionate and creative entrepreneurs in New Orleans dedicated to bringing the city back to its prominence and then some. They recently unveiled a program asking entrepreneurs for ideas to keep young professionals in the city, offering $100,000 to the winner. 

Long has it been a problem for New Orleans that its young, educated people leave the city for opportunities in Houston, Dallas, Chicago, and other places around the country. IdeaVillage believes the trend can change. 

See their outstanding YouTube video after the jump for an outline of their program, and pass the word along to anyone who may have that great idea!
