Today's Wall Street Journal had an article about the town of Rikuzentakata, which was entirely destroyed by the 3/11 Tsunami. It's a great article, along with the accompanying photographs, and it had particular resonance for me because I've actually been there. The town lies just south of Ofunato, where I volunteered with All Hands.
I actually put up pictures from the town on this blog on my last entry about my trips up north. From my perspective the place just looked abandoned, so it was interesting to read about the people who still live there and are struggling to put their lives back together.
