Daily Herald story It seems like the French side has done nothing to try to get businesses back up and running. The article talks about creating someplace on Orient and in Marigot for cruise ship tourists to go. Sounds like that should already be in place??

It's plenty safe. Not much in grand case to open anytime soon. Marigot took in their first "cruise ship" today

With regards to Grand Case, Bistro Caraibes just reopened and Tijon has also reopened. Also, yesterday Ti Spa at Hotel L'Esplanade Grand Case just re-opened. There is some positive activity there!

I actually thought that someone posted here that Bistrot was opening the 21st of this month, not open yet, but it is good to see they are opening. From pictures after the storm, it looked like the Bistrot building was largely intact, unlike many others on the street there.

OK, that is a quote from the President of the Indian Merchant Association, not a percentage arrived at by the Daily Herald.

That's just bad journalism. And for the businesses that have worked so hard to reopen it's unfair to say nothing is open.
