Bring Your Own Beer
Al Copeland’s restaraunt on St Charles and Napoleon is getting its private reviewing stands up. There were many people running around this morning in and out f the building.
On the right side of this picture is Copeland’s, a rat infested dump that has had next to nothing done to it (despite repeated complaints from neighbors) since the storm. The purple, green and gold on the left side is the reviewing stand set up for him, his cronys, and if I am not mistaken those who purchase seats. There is a high probability
Down the Avenue sits the likewise ignored remains of his Cheesecake Bistro, another eyesore and more evidence of his desertion of Orleans Parish in the wake of the Storm. So my question is: Why do we allow him preferential treatment in the form of ringside seats to the greatest spectacle of modern America?
I am obviously not the only neighbor who feels this way, as shown by the signs posted (and immediately removed) on his building when the stand started going up. (Click thumbnail for larger, readable images)

If the expected drinks concession opens I encourage others to follow my example. Bring your own beer, Big Al has lost the right to our money.

You are right you are not the only neighbor who is mad about this.

Thanks, I forgot about that highly pertinent post of yours!
Als, more comments are accruing on the crosspost of this in the New Orleans LiveJournal Community:

I saw those posters up on the plywood over the windows a while back, and out of curiosity, I checked out the Copeland’s website, which lists the location of Copeland’s Cheesy Place further downtown on St Charles, but has no mention of the former Copeland’s at Napoleon and St Charles…not even a “we are renovating for re-opening” blurb.
Jefferson Parish can have him for all I care at this point. Good riddance, poor rich schmuck.
Outrageous. Isn’t there some way to get Big Al in front of the city council or otherwise force him to do something with these eyesores?
Cheesecake is also a sty. Copeland is a reprehensible excuse for a human, I know for I also was a headwaiter in his employ…
As you know, Middle Son lives about a block away from this intersection. I think it’s a cryin’ shame that this property has been allowed to fester as it has. Good for you for callin’ him out. Shame on him. Go Loki.
I’ve been waiting for someone to comment on that motherfucker. The Bistro is a wart on St. Charles….you drive by and looks like the place was freshly looted inside.
I think Copeland may be up there with Derbyshire for asshole of the year.
Great post on this prick. Business owners all have some responsibility for cleaning up their places and not bringing down the whole area. Publicity hounds and bankrupt millionaires have a special responsibility, especially when they’re on a corner like that. I don’t know why he doesn’t get ridden out on a rail (or at least clocked in Morton’s again). Asshole.
