I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE LIFELESSNESS OF THE AREA SURROUNDING NEW ORLEANS. ENTIRE SUBDIVISIONS WERE DEVOID OF HUMAN LIFE.


HERE, A ONCE THRIVING SHOPPING CENTER LIES ABANDONED.


I BEGAN NOTICING THE CLOSED MCDONALDS. THIS PROMPTED ME TO STOP ALONG THE ROAD AND GET THE CAMERA OUT. I STOPPED COUNTING AFTER SIX CLOSED STORES. I DIDN'T EVEN COUNT THE NUMBER OF COMPETITOR'S STORES.


UTTER ABANDONMENT SEEMED TO BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN THIS AREA. WHAT A MOVIE SET THE STATE OF LOUISIANA HAS IN PLACE IF AN "END OF THE WORLD" TYPE OF MOVIE IS EVER PRODUCED.

      Hello Mark. This is Rob Bosma, I was in the Stevenson Band with Lauren back in the mid '90s. I saw in the article in the Detroit newspaper about your ride. Your blog is very interesting! Take care.
