Structural issues at French Market in New Orleans temporarily close iconic Cafe Du Monde.
A structural issue in the attic of the French Market in New Orleans has temporarily closed the iconic Cafe Du Monde and other businesses. The problem, caused by aging wooden timbers, led to a sagging roof, prompting an evacuation. No injuries were reported, but the closure disrupted the busy French Quarter, which is hosting high school football games, a Saints game, and holiday crowds. Cafe Du Monde's owner expects the business to reopen on Saturday, pending inspections.
