quote:since when did Red Gravy have a place in the Quarters?
I saw on the book of faces that Red Gravy moved from the quarter to magazine to try and make it.
I moved away in 2018 but I never remember her opening in the FQ

When it comes to the FQ, no doubt. Those people are dying. Residents have places to eat and drink so that plays into why they aren't marching on City Hall.

Business owners should band together and openly defy the government closures. There isn't anything they could do
This has been suggested to her in the past but she fears the ABC board coming in the club and yanking the liquor license and fining them into oblivion.
I’m just relaying her concerns, I have no say in her amd her husbands business matters.

We are discussing small business owners whose margins aren’t big enough to survive prolonged closings or limited capacity.
It’s absolute lunacy to defend the current business climate in the city.
The only reason some are defending it is because of some weird inferiority complex they have about the city. The business climate is awful.

I don’t know. It’s all rather lame and depressing to me.

No one is defending the business climate, hell yeah it could be better. Only pointing out that it could be a hell of a lot worse.

Good point. Are the bars and restaurants uptown/garden district hanging on? Many of those restaurants are too small to operate under 25% capacity.

We are rule followers. My wife loves a good rule. She would eat up some communist propaganda if I wasn’t here to steer her.
She is like two radio ads away from goose stepping and talking about the collective at any given point.

What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fricking words. You think you can get away with saying that shite to me over the Internet? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable arse off the face of the continent, you little shite. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fricking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shite fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fricking dead, kiddo.
I like your swagger!!

And I don’t see how it could really get much worse for small business owners other than complete closures which is happening. Many more will close much faster if this continues.

After Katrina, I remember Bourbon & Royal, up & down the length of the Quarter, being lined with "For Rent" signs, so many businesses had closed. Is it that bad now or it it just the bars, restaurants & hotels hurting? Even Katrina did not do permanent damage to POB's business& it lost tons of workers.

I will meet you at the library. I hear out of towners can rent books there.
Posted on 9/27/20 at 10:35 pm to Keltic Tiger
I don’t think it’s that bad. What saved NOLA after Katrina was the influx of outside money to open new businesses and get the city going again. That money won’t be here this time. People all over the country have lost businesses and NOLA isn’t the only city in trouble.

The adjustment has been pretty amazing. Prices have gone up to accommodate, getting creative with seating and takeout options as well. Some speakeasies are operating as well, who knew doorbells would be so useful still. Some bars are even offering incubators for chefs to run their popups. Others are just slinging sysco to meet the restaurant requirement.
Across the city the new restaurants are Vals, Misa, El Cucuy, Treps, Galaxie and probably a few others I'm not remembering.
My original reply in this thread was to someone asking if they came to NOLA if there is anything they could do. There is plenty.

Excited about a bunch of overpriced taco stands while institutions are dying left and right.

Excited? Just pointing out that people are investing even during the middle of this.
