Those business owners ruined Canal St, so maybe they’re the ones that can fix it
Explain. I've only ever known Canal as chain stores and seedy tourist merchandise stores.

The Rubenstein and Adler families need to bring in the mossad to clean up the area.

This is what it used to look like - it was an upscale shopping district with high-end department stores.

Back in the day, according to my grandma and mom. if you were poorer and needed things you went to Poydras St, Oak St, and even Dryades had shops. Canal St. was somewhat exclusive - you dressed up to go.
Even through the 1990s Canal St had Maison Blanche and Krauss. The touristy crap was starting to take over, but you could still get some nice things.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's and would often head to Canal St. with family back in the 50's, and by the mid 60's I'd head up there myself as I was a teen with a job.
There was Krause's, Labiches, Maison Blanche, D.H. Holmes, Rubenstein Brothers, Perlis, Godchaux's and a host of other clothing stores to choose from. You could head over to "Big Daddy's to haggle shoe prices and do the same at Meyer The Hatter if so inclined.
There were 4 excellent cinemas back then with the Saenger, RKO Orpheum, Lowes State and the Joy Theater all vying for your business. My two favorites were the Saenger and RKO Orpheum.
Canal has been a shithole for decades now. Between Canal and the Quarter, there must be 100 or more damn T-shirt shops and other stores that sell touristy crap now.
