Regardless, I think it'll take some time to restore the big hotels. The Quarter is basically unharmed (unless the buildings took water damage - the water was never high in this area at all from what I've read - hence why the area has survived so long). The area around the airport looks pretty wet (as the airport itself is surrounded by water normally). That would be a major concern. The CBD (where the big hotels are) is mostly dry and always has been. If you haven't seen it yet, there is an amazing blog out there of a guy securing an ISP data center: http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/ Of immediate concern are the fires that seem to keep breaking out all over the city. The ability to fight these fires is really compromised. I just don't think the city will be ready for visitors as soon as April. Next year, I'm sure it will be, albeit with much less residential area. The sad part is, many tourists will return and see New Orleans not much different from what they saw last time. Much of what was really obliterated were areas tourists never see.

First of all the Convention Center and the Hotel(s) need to be 100% functional, safe an clean. I am not anxious to go there, and get sick or something. (This does not mean that 100% of the Convention Center needs to be this way, but it does mean that our part of the center needs to be this way.) Next, there needs to be an airport. I'm not interested in flying to a second tier airport (to do such means that I would have to change planes), and then driving for a dog's age. This would also imply that I couldn't get out on Thursday night, requiring a loss of another day's productivity and a night's hotel stay. Moreover, if the French Quarter's not back, I'm unsure why I would want to go to that city. In the event that it's not back, the hotel would have to provide much evening dining and entertainment variety, not typical of firms called Hilton. My fear is that the Convention Center will say to COMMON that you have a contract, honor it, and the remainder of the infrastructure will not be there to support us.

You can find the Hilton hotel if you've ever been in NO. There is a VERY narrow strip of land that is not under water. Jackson Square might be dry, but most of the rest of the Quarter is wet. -- Paul Nelson Arbor Solutions, Inc. 708-670-6978 Cell pnelson@xxxxxxxxxx Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx 09/02/2005 07:26 PM Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx cc Subject NOLA/COMMON S06 It would appear that Jackson square and surrounding areas had very minimal damage, according to video this afternoon.
