How one man single-handedly opened the only grocery store in one of New Orleans’ poorest wards and inspired Ellen DeGeneres
More than 10 years after Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans and all but destroyed the Lower Ninth, Burnell Cotlon has sunk every cent of his life savings into restoring the quiet neighborhood to the family-friendly community he remembers from his childhood.
His one-year-old store, the Lower 9th Ward Market, is the only grocery store in the neighborhood. His sweet shop next door is the only place to grab a sno-ball – a shaved ice staple in any true New Orleanian’s diet. Cotlon’s efforts even caught the attention of New Orleans native Ellen DeGeneres, who brought him to Los Angeles last fall to appear on her daytime talk show — and donated washers and dryers so he could open a laundromat.
Amazing person.

Is it wrong that I can't stand Ellen?
Not because she's a carpet muncher, but because she's just so damn happy and chipper and plastic that it makes me sick.
