For those of you in town, there’s going to be a group cleanup of Canal Street tomorrow. From nola.com:
New Orleans will hold its second city-sponsored cleanup Saturday, this time on Canal Street. Two weeks ago, volunteers were called upon to help clean Magazine Street following Hurricane Katrina.
“This is another way for us to help bring our businesses back,” New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said in a press release. “It’s up to the other business owners and citizens of this great city to help them to get back on their feet. We need everybody to come out and help revive our famous Canal Street.”
Volunteers are asked to bring gloves, brooms, dust pans, rakes and garden clippers to the Aquarium of the Americas beginning at 9 a.m. Other cleaning supplies will be provided.
Residents and business owners are asked to move cars to allow for debris removal.
