I agree with that sentiment. Since businesses in the GNO area have come back, WE ALL realize how valuable those less fortunate (poor) Af Ams were to the city. They had jobs that kept the area going. Those jobs were hotel housekeepers, cooks, waiters, waitresses, etc. Most restaurants don't have the normal business hours they had Pre-Katrina. If a restaurant is open 8hrs a day....THAT'S DAYUM GOOD! Some of the "upscale" restaurants aren't even open during lunch.
Who would have thought that Burger King and McDonald's (just to name 2 businesses) would offer $6500 signing bonuses and paying at least $8/hour (for one year of service)? They are desperate for employees!!!!
I don't know what they are going to do for Mardi Gras. It's going to be madness....
I'm not surprised by anything that is said.
