Looks like they are still causing problems. I heard the police are barring people from coming down there now. Just a rumor I heard. Can you confirm that John?

The Big Easy was the Big Rowdy today. The Demolition Permits were approved but we will see what happens. We are ready to go to work hopefully without any violent outbursts from some of the public. It is tough to think that you are the start of major improvement to a community or City and this is what is going on around the community. New Orleans needs change I just hope they don't blow it. I do know it will not stop us from bidding the last two that are coming out for bid. We are ready to rock on and knock some buildings down!!!!!!!!!
As far as ending the year, we got some nice backlog to keep us busy for awhile

We will know this Thursday if we will be able to start. This has been a very hot topic of discussion around here and it has the potential to get very ugly.
