Reply #10: The business owners in the safer areas at least need to get work started [View All]

I saw the interview with the owner of Antoine's restaurant in the French Quarter this morning. He's not talking about moving back in this week, he's talking about cleaning up, assessing damages, and starting up business in a few weeks, when all the services have been restored. He said he can't open as long as his staff have no place to live, but wanted to get started on fixing the building up. If he springs for the port-a-potties and the bottled water for his work crew, he and other businesses should be able to at least get started rebuilding and recovering. It's key to the city's recovery.
