Let's face it, it's not that easy to find a

The need in New Orleans and throughout the Gulf area continues to be great, and though attention may have waned in some quarters, there are still charitable concerts being held, recordings sold and fundraisers scheduled to help meet that need. But it's worth noting that there's another way that interested folks can help New Orleans, and that's to spend some money with merchants who are back in the city and open for business.
The city is encouraging tourists to visit, but if a vacation isn't an option for you right now, you can still drop a few dollars into the New Orleans economy by buying a holiday gift or two by phone or on the Internet. Courtesy of a thread on this subject at the political website Daily Kos, you'll find lists of some New Orleans merchants geared up for phone, mail and Web orders here, here and here. Along similar lines, you might also enjoy Louie's Juke Joint, temporarily selling their eclectic variety of New Orleans and Louisiana-related merchandise from higher and drier ground on the East Coast.
