...hotels) and constant media attention left over from Katrina has kept the bulk of sightseers from returning. "It's been slow. Seems like everybody's doing about 30 percent of the business they were doing pre-Katrina," says Tom Mullen, whose grandmother founded the French Quarter psychic reading shop Bottom of the Cup Tea Room back in 1929. On a display shelf in the shop, next to the crystal balls and good-fortune candles, are packets of incense that promise to "Cleanse Negativity" and restore "Peace and Balance...
...intermediary without ugly confrontation, and was perhaps even more effective for its underlying threat: if you don't dress the way we want, we will take away your ability to exercise.

He would spend hours covered in clay and oxide dust making ceramic tiles, assembling grand mosaics destined for a friend's winery wall...

But the Clintons, especially Bill, still trek around town regularly. Nearly everyone has a story about greeting the charismatic former President (the "nicest guy in the world," according to a manager at the Clintons' local deli, Lange's), being in a store when a Clinton came in (the duo has visited nearly all of Chappaqua's shops and restaurants), or just watching Bill stroll...
