The bus was paid for by the Marriott Corp who was dedicated to getting their associates and guests out of the city. Rumor is the CEO or Mr. Marriott, or someone high up at Marriott got buses ready on Tuesday and had to get special permission from the governor to allow the buses in. They had to make more than one phone call to make that happen, but that is what they did.

Kudos to Marriott; this was well done indeed on their part.

Yes.  It certainly was.

Rumor circulating around here is Academy, which had four stores in New Orleans, gave keys to the police, told them to take all the weapons in stock, and on the way out to leave the doors open for people to take what they needed.
