The electricity was not restored in the Quarter before the rest of the city-it never went off, which happened during Katrina as well.By the way, do take a moment to appreciate a well-built neighborhood with underground utilities and ask yourself why rest of the city doesn’t follow this lead?
The Quarter is NOT made up entirely of tourists with glow sticks, but many, many locals working and living in the old city as locals have since 1718. Everyone who appreciates diversity and joy and community across the city and world comes to the French Quarter to find it here as well. Stop bashing other neighborhoods and appreciate what we have-everywhere.
I’ve been working on a tree inventory of the French Quarter; guess I need to update it now!
Quiet, slightly rainy day so far waiting for Isaac to hit Bourbon Street, get a daiquiri, then to get the hell out. He, like many visitors, is enjoying it and taking his sweet time in heading north.
Many business were open earlier today (and some not, like CC’s Cofffeehouse!): I saw or heard about Cafe Envie, Smallmart convenience, Fahy’s Irish Pub among others. I may go out later in a respite between bands of rain to venture further.
