"ITS A GOOD DAY IN NEW ORLEANS" - Mayor Nagin [View All]

[BOSSHOG]

Parts of New Orleans open for businesses to enter this coming weekend. Curfew still in effect. He is listing zip codes and the days those parts of town will be open to residents. 182,000 residents going back home.

26 September - Date French Quarter to open (pending a recheck of the electric system)

Convention Center to be converted to retail outlets for food and supplies. Sounds like someone has a plan. The port of New Orleans is opened. The airport is coming back online. The twin span bridges leading from New Orleans to Slidell is being repaired.

Sure sounds like the Mayor is in charge. Sure sounds like local leaders in Jefferson and Orleans and St Tammany and St Bernard and Plaquemines Parrishs are working their asses off and LEADING recovery efforts with professionalism and gusto. Just a little local FYI, FEMA officials missed two scheduled meetings with local officials this week.
