The city of New Orleans is inching back to normalcy after the New Year's truck attack that killed 14 people in the famed French Quarter.

Laura Barone Lopez is back with this report on how the area's residents are coping with the tragedy and what comes next.

How could this happen in my neighborhood? You know, this is where I live. This is where I work.

It can't happen here. Joey DeFada has lived in New Orleans his whole life and in the city's

French Quarter for 15 years. He says the attack on Bourbon Street has left his tight-knit

community in shock. A lot of folks don't realize it's not just French Quarter bars and restaurants, they're

residents who live here.

So we're having to cope with this now and to process it.

This is a big situation for us to overcome, but I think we will.

We're going to make it.

We're not leaving.

They're not going to run us off.

We're going to stay.

DeFada co-owns a bar and guest house just down the block on Bourbon. We're not leaving. They're not going to run us off. We're going to stay.

I'm hoping that this is a catalyst to getting protection better, police protection.

Usually something like this, you learn from it, and then you fix the shortfalls.

And I'm hoping that's what happens with this. Longtime New Orleans resident,

Jane Cooper, walked home from Bourbon Street with her husband, Bob Heaps, just hours before the attack. She also wants to see some changes. I think one of the difficult conversations that has to take

place in this city is how do you manage pedestrians and vehicular traffic?

This is a city that people can walk.

Mardi Gras, there are hundreds of thousands of people here in the streets
