Mr. Ed's in Bucktown completely rebuilt after Katrina only to burn to the ground. The same thing happened to the Brown Derby on Freret...completely rebuilt after Katrina only to burn to the ground. Coffee and Company on Harrison looks like it did after the water receded. It is apparently going to reopen at some time as a Starbucks (eccch!). Charlie's Deli on Harrison is reopened as Touch?s (with a new owner). It was doing well for a while, but business has gone downhill since the National Guard stopped eating there. Rebuilding is sporatic. Most places aren't rebuilding. The large strip mall at West End and Robert E. Lee (where the Robert E. Lee Theater stands) is completely deserted. Most of Canal street on the lake side of Claiborne is still deserted.

There's allot of clean up work on Canal St now. For my old neighborhood, we lost 7 houses, 1 Civil War Church, 1 1940's Theatre, and 1 fountain that finally worked for 2 weeks after 15 years. And we're above sea level! Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: <SonC@aol.com> Subject: Re: [Leica] New Orleans 1 Year Later Please don't say that. It is the risk we in Louisiana all take when we smile, and are proud of what has been accomplished, but it is not normal. It is not the same, an I don't know if it will ever be. Mandinas is gone. Circle Grocery is gone. oh.. so many places I loved are gone. Regards, Sonny _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
