Frank Davis: ‘Ya gotta see it for yourself’
WWL-TV’s Frank Davis, the quintessential New Orleanian, on Tuesday turned his attention to Biloxi’s Katrina Sculptures, a project in which the city had a collection of standing dead trees on Beach Boulevard sculpted to depict marine-life.
Said Davis in a “Naturally N’Awlins” segment that aired during WWL’s 6 p.m. newscast Tuesday: “Ya gotta see it for yourself.”
