Summary[edit]

Description

Tire repair shop on St. Claude Avenue, New Orleans.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the great levee failure disaster of 2005, the shop reopened as soon as the water receeded from this block. Said by some to be the first business to reopen outside of the French Quarter, it was one of the few in business in the aftermath of the storm. As the streets were full of debris including many roofing nails, they kept busy fixing tires for escaping locals with working vehicles and arriving emergency vehicles, then returning locals when the city officially reopened.
