Commitment
Johnny Whites, on Bourbon Street, never closed and still serves drinks to a growing crowd.

The only time the large doors on the corner bar on Bourbon Street were shut was when the patrons inside held them tight against the wind and rain 10 days ago, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. . . . [M]any rescue workers stop in for soft drinks. When medical volunteers stop in, people can get a tetanus shot, the report said.

'We`ve sort of turned into a community center,' said bartender Larry Hirst.

A BBC article on the same bar reports that the only bodies you have to walk around at Johnny Whites are the ones in the stairway, sleeping it off. When the city is back and running, Johnny Whites is going to have quite the marketing edge. What French Quarter visitor isn't going to want to go have a drink in the one bar that never closed during the storm?
