I've already put a new roof on the main building and repaired the roofs on the other two buildings. Now I'm waiting on insurance money for the rest of the repairs. I've been ready to begin for three months, but the insurance company has been very very slow and resistant.

Our serve and service return was very weak in the first two games. But we had a lot of things that worked well. So for the third game, we focused on serving more aggressively.

The state gives them hardly any money at all, not even to buy those great t-shirts that the kids love.

We came out more aggressive. And it's always good to beat teams that you know.

She's not flashy, but she gets the job done.

This is happening to businesses all over Mandeville. I don't see how any business owner can survive unless they are independently wealthy.

I want everyone to see what's going on so if we don't come back they'll know why, and if we do, they'll see how much we had to go through to open again. If I have to sell the building, I would hope it would be reclaimed as a theatre, not an engineer's office or something. It would be sad to see it go. I didn't buy the building to make money, I did it because the theatre is so important to my life.

The insurance company won't give us any money until we settle. Once we do, it will take eight weeks to get up and running again. They won't give us business interruption insurance until we accept the settlement, but they are underestimating.

When I asked them why, they said because this is Louisiana, meaning that we're corrupt, incompetent and any number of other things.
