Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Cover Story 10 20 03

This article (click the title above) is worth reading again now that the storm waters have receded. How many of the folks on this list have left the city? How many of those since Katrina? I know that Scott Dawson is gone. He was the General Manager of the InterContinental New Orleans. Scott was a good GM, but I heard through the grapevine that managing a hotel full of FEMA-paid guests was markedly different than managing a hotel full of upper-upscale clientele. It took its toll on the staff and, apparently, on Mr. Dawson as well.

Of course the "multi-talented" leader profiled in this article who has decidedly NOT left is our very good friend, the President of the Power Courses. Thanks for staying around, Alex.
