Katrina related tourism bankruptcies

By way of the People Get Ready blog ("make levees, not war"), here's an article from last week about two subsidiaries of a large New Orleans tourism company filing for bankruptcy. According to the article, more tourism bankruptcies are expected. In somewhat related news, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed most of New Orleans on a list of the "11 most endangered historic sites in the U.S."
