>> Hotel properties suffered greatly during Katrina and in the months following. Frank Zumbo, GM of the Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel, said his hotel was one of the most damaged in the city.That's the Walgreen's in my photo, reposted below.
“This hotel sustained some pretty substantial flood damage,” Zumbo said. “We’re talking about 2 or 3 feet of standing water in the lobby for three or four weeks, so the entire first floor was completely gutted. All the laundry downstairs, the engineering, the electrical had to be rebuilt.”

The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans also experienced difficulties during Katrina, according to GM Myra deGersdorff. The hotel was fortunate to be hosting a convention of infectious disease physicians when Katrina hit; about 20 of the doctors could not get out of the city, and the hotel served as a miniature medical unit. At one point, a team needed to cross the flooded street to get medical supplies and drugs from Walgreens.
“It was pretty interesting to see our catering director and a couple of others float across Canal Street in a laundry bin,” she said. <<
The Père Marquette referenced above is not in the Quarter (again, it's Quarter, not "Court") --- it's about a block away from the Ritz Carlton. You're looking in that direction here.
Fucking liar.
That's the street nearby the French Quarter. Also, in multiple posts I said that there may have (allegedly) been some light flooding in the French Quarter. Also, that's ankle deep water or so, dude. It's not fast rushing water that would be ravaging bodies.
There it is, right on time....
No one has claimed anything about "fast rushing water that would be ravaging bodies". Perhaps you got this site and the tab you have your porn open in mixed up.
No one has claimed anything about "fast rushing water" at all. Unless you're standing at the 17th Street Canal when it gives way, that's not the way a flood works.
Lying asshole.
Look, learning "Court" is not "Quarter" must have tapped you out. Why don't you go back to your porn and not try to take on the obviously deep science of how water works. You've had a long day.
Fucking liar.
Well, if it wasn't fast rushing waters, then it stands to reason that Lyin' Bryan would have gotten the shot, right? So either way, we know he was full of crap. And don't claim that BS well they couldn't show it on TV. I took f'ing journalism classes in college and interned int it. No journalist would stand by idle and let a story literally float away. I mean, you tried to say well, they can't show that on TV; and I showed you that's nonsense. And even if they didn't, you take the shot and then later inform the audience that you are not showing it if it's allegedly too graphic. But no f'ing journalist in their right mind is that apathetic. I can guaranfuckingtee you that if Bry Bry saw a dead body floating by, he'd be chasing that corpse like he was chasing an emmy!
oooooooooh, we "interned in journalism" did we?
That's so cute. If you were one of my students you might have not had to quit and go into ditchdigging.
Then again maybe not -- from what I've seen here you're incapable of learning.
It's like teaching first grade in here -- "Bry Bry"? "'cos"? I haven't seen anyone spell the word 'cos since Tiger Beat. Got a lot of Bobby Sherman pics do we?
Look I don't know or care, nor did I see, what shot Brian WIlliams got or didn't get. I called bullshit on your bullshit about Katrina. And I'll continue to do so as long as wastes of oxygen like you try to revise it.
