Business cleanup starts Saturday

Three sections of New Orleans to let entrepreneurs back in

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Shortly after sunrise Saturday,

the streets of three major areas of New Orleans will begin to fill as

people return to check on their shops, restaurants and clubs.

Evacuees who run businesses in the French Quarter, the central district and Uptown will be

allowed to return Saturday under a strict curfew, the city's homeland security chief, Col. Terry

Ebbert, said Friday. The streets will be opened from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and business owners will

be warned of the possibility of violence, he said. They also will be advised against drinking tap

water and bathing, and will be told that the sewage and electrical systems are not fully functional

in those areas. Everyone will have to leave immediately if it begins to rain, he said. There is a 20

percent chance of a thunderstorm, the National Weather Service said Friday.

The French Quarter, on one of the highest points in the city, suffered power outages but very little

flooding after Hurricane Katrina smashed New Orleans on August 29. There were a handful of people

who never evacuated and some who returned early to clean up. Faras Canahuati spent part of Friday throwing out

the ingredients for Baba Ganoush and other specialties at his two-month old restaurant.

"I saw [Mayor] Ray Nagin on TV saying he wanted to open up the French Quarter ... so that's why

I rushed here today, see what I can do to to clean up," he said.

Nagin said Thursday that the French Quarter will be open for business by September 26.

Canahuati said he was anxious to reopen, for the fun, laughter and "screaming, sometimes" to return.

"It was a good atmosphere," he said.

Jason Mohney, the owner of four strip clubs on Bourbon Street, told Reuters that he saw a unique opportunity ahead.

"It'll be better than ever," he said. "A lot of federal money will be coming in here. Big-time developers

will come, too."

One entrepreneur, an owner of a jewelry and antique shop, said he saw no point to a curfew.

"It's ridiculous, the curfew," Franco Valobra told The Associated Press. "Once it's open, it's open."

Ebbert said that residents of the Algiers neighborhood will be allowed to return Monday. Algiers is

the only area where all city services have been restarted.

Algiers, the one part of New Orleans that lies across the Mississippi River on the west bank, is

principally a residential area. Its tip, lodged in the elbow of the river's crescent, hosts a ferry landing

and row after row of sherbet-colored wooden houses.

The central business district includes Canal Street, the Louisiana Superdome, an Amtrak station and

nearly all of the city's skyscrapers. One of its borders abuts the French Quarter.

Uptown, the scene of novelist Anne Rice's vampire epics, boasts palatial mansions with leaded

beveled glass doors, wraparound porches and gazebos where the elite English settled upriver from

the quarters of the French.

Tulane and Loyola universities are among the institutions in the section of oak-lined boulevards and

the famed streetcar route along St. Charles Avenue.
