Tour of St Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans - June 2013
St. Louis Cemetery #1 is the oldest and most famous. It was opened in 1789, replacing the city's older St. Peter Cemetery (no longer in existence) as the main burial ground when the city was redesigned after a fire in 1788.
It is 8 blocks from the Mississippi River, on the north side of Basin Street, one block beyond the inland border of the French Quarter. It borders the Iberville housing project. It has been in continuous use since its foundation. The nonprofit group Save Our Cemeteries and commercial businesses offer tours for a fee.
Famous New Orleanians buried in St. Louis #1 include Etienne de Boré, wealthy pioneer of the sugar industry and the first mayor of New Orleans; Homer Plessy, the plaintiff from the landmark 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision on civil rights; and Ernest N. Dutch Morial, the first African-American mayor of New Orleans.
The renowned Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau is believed to be interred in the Glapion family crypt. Other notable New Orleanians here include Bernard de Marigny, the French-Creole playboy who brought the game of craps to the United States; Barthelemy Lafon, the architect and surveyor who allegedly became one of Jean Lafitte's pirates; and Paul Morphy, one of the earliest world champions of chess. Delphine LaLaurie is also believed to lay in rest here. Architect and engineer Benjamin Latrobe was buried there after dying from yellow fever in 1820 while doing engineering for the New Orleans water works.
The cemetery spans just one square block but is the resting place of many thousands. A Protestant section (generally not vaulted) lies in the north-west section.
Hard Rock Cafe Canal Street New Orleans Collapses: Raw video
A Hard Rock Hotel, which had been under construction for the last several months in downtown New Orleans, has collapsed.
Upper floors began to fall on top of each other before the Basin Street side of the building fell to the ground below. Two large cranes, being used to construct the building, could be seen swaying after the collapse.
Crescent City Connection New Orleans
The Crescent City Connection is the name given to two identical bridges that extend over the Mississippi River. The first bridge, originally named the Greater New Orleans Bridge, was completed in 1958 and the second was completed in 1988. They are two of the longest cantilever bridges worldwide and are both tied for the fifth most-traveled toll bridge in the United States. For tourists, the Crescent City Connection offers stunning views of the sunset, river, and skyline of New Orleans. For something different, check out the annual Crescent Connection Road Race, which takes place on the first Saturday of September.
Morganza Spillway Opened

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Morganza Spillway is a flood-control structure in Louisiana between the Mississippi River and the Morganza Floodway, which leads to the Atchafalaya Basin and the Atchafalaya River in south-central Louisiana. The structure, located along the western bank of the Mississippi River at river mile 280, about three miles northwest of Morganza and 151 river miles upstream from Norco in Pointe Coupee Parish, is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Its purpose is to divert water from the Mississippi River during major flood events by flooding the Atchafalaya River and the Atchafalaya Basin (Atchafalaya Swamp). The spillway and adjacent levees also help prevent the Mississippi from changing its present course through the major port cities of Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, to a course directly down the Atchafalaya to the Gulf of Mexico. The Morganza spillway has been opened only twice, in 1973 and 2011. The spillway's thousands of acres of forest and farmland are home to the Louisiana black bear (Ursus americanus luteolus), which has been on the United States Fish and Wildlife Service threatened list since 1992.
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States, in large part due to the Mississippi River swelling to 80 miles wide in spots. To provide protection against river flood and prevent a repeat of the Great Flood of 1927, Congress passed the Flood Control Act of 1928 to authorize the United States Army Corps of Engineers to build the Bonnet Carre Spillway (located 33 miles above New Orleans and completed in 1931), the Birds Point floodway in Missouri, and the the Morganza Floodway as part of the 1928 Mississippi River and Tributaries Project. The Morganza control structure portion of the project was completed in 1954 and subsequently became incorporated into the Mississippi River Commission's 1956 Project Design Flood, which added the Old River Control Structure in 1963 to the protections used to prevent Mississippi River flood. The Flood Control Act of 1965 provided further regulation over the Morganza Spillway's role in Mississippi River flood prevention. A concrete pit called a stilling basin was added at the Morganza Spillway in 1977 to provide erosion protection after the velocity of water pouring through the open bays during a 1973 flood caused severe scouring, or gouging out, of the land behind the bays.

ABANDONED Housing Projects in New Orleans
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Many families were displaced, forced to leave their homes and hopefully find new places to live (mostly out of state). The Marrero Commons (formerly B.W. Cooper Housing Complex) was targeted for tear down and rebuild. It is now 2017, and only about half of the housing project has been rebuilt. The other half remains abandoned and empty.

Sinking Louisiana | May 2019 | Public Square
Louisiana’s coast is experiencing the fastest rate of relative sea level rise in the world, impacting more than 2 million of its residents. The state has also faced two of America’s most destructive storms - Hurricanes Rita and Katrina -that permanently destroyed miles of shoreline and barrier islands.
Louisiana’s energy sector supplies more than 16 percent of America’s oil and five percent of its natural gas. Global climate change and rising seas will significantly contribute to the deterioration of the coast, and Louisiana’s reliance on extractive industries complicates finding solutions.
Many scientists argue we are nearing a tipping point to save the coast, which demands “connecting the dots,” significant investment and a change in priorities. Louisiana Public Square, in partnership with public radio station WWNO, brings together coastal stakeholders, NGOs, researchers and industry leaders to explore strategies that reduce coastal land loss and protect lives on “Sinking Louisiana” Wednesday, May 22 at 7pm on LPB and in New Orleans on WLAE.
This program is made possible in part through funding from WNET and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Our panelists will be:
Dr. Virginia Burkett, Climate Scientist with U.S.G.S.
Pat Forbes, Executive Director, Office of Community Development
Bren Haase, Executive Director of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority
Tegan Wendland, WWNO Coastal reporter
LPB CEO, Beth Courtney, and LPB news anchor, Andre’ Moreau, host the program.
The program features interviews with Torbjorn Tornqvist, a professor with Tulane's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences; Monique Boulet, CEO of the Acadiana Planning Commission and Bren Haase, Executive Director of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
Major funding for Sinking Cities was provided by Dr. P. Roy Vagelos and Diana T. Vagelos with additional funding from Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III and The Marc Haas Foundation, as part of Peril and Promise, a public media initiative from WNET in New York reporting on the stories of climate change. Sinking Cities was also supported by The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations and Viewers Like You. Additional funding for Peril and Promise is provided by Lise Strickler and Mark Gallogly.

'100-year storm' strikes New Orleans as city already braces for tropical weather
A line of severe thunderstorms ahead of a potential tropical storm caused widespread flooding and power outages across New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana Wednesday.
The line of storms dropped nearly six inches of rain on New Orleans' Warehouse District, causing drivers to be stranded in flooded streets and city leaders to issue emergency alerts to stay off the roads.
Ghassan Korban, the Executive Director of the Sewerage & Water Board, told Eyewitness News that the pump stations were operational and fully staffed, but no drainage system in the nation could handle this much rain.
According to Korban, more than 8 inches of rain fell in some parts of the city over the course of a few hours nearing the level of what he called “a 100-year storm.”
“It would outperform any drainage system, anywhere in the nation,” Korban said. “That’s exactly what you’re experiencing this morning.”
