Welcome to Obamaland

[ncalburt]

When was the last time you visited NOLA?
Its booming again.
Outside the Eastern section of the City and Eastern Orleans Parish , the rest of the metro area is doing great.
Sections of the City such as Uptown, Garden District, Audubon Park, Magazine St ,and the Quarter are looking great.
The city has 3 major colleges ( Tulane, Xavier, Loyola)
which make it a great location to live too.
The metro area population has shifted toward the west and north after the storm due to taxes and crummy schools in Orleans parish. But the NOLA area has nice people and great food. Stay away from Canal Street and the section of the Quarter near Canal and check out the south side of the Quarter were the locals live and party ( Barracks , Esplanade, St Anne, Ursuline).

We’ve got the same problem here in NJ, folks just don’t like to bring it up. The Six Flags here is a magnet on any given day for tons of gang-bangers...

The Six Flags just east of DC, in Maryland, is the same way. Bangers and thugs infest the place.

We have passes to King's Dominion near Richmond, VA and while there are a few questionable people there security is good and they don't try anything.

The place we like best is Busch Gardens, Williamsburg. The entrance fees are quite a bit higher and the thugs and riff raff stay away. It is the best family park we have ever visited.

Good, more people should move there to support it and get it off the U.S. taxpayer’s payroll.

I know there are nice people there but there are a lot of not so nice people there as well and a lot of them came to Houston. I wish more of them would go back.

Some people like NOLA, I don’t but I don’t like Houston either so we’re even.

"...an eerie silence settles over the rusty and crusty decay, the setting seems to twist the atmosphere of enthusiastic excitement into a suffocating blanket of dread. The place takes on creepy vibes and freaks people out."

Better get used to it, folks.

Unless the Decadence that has the USA in a death-grip is reversed--and fast!--this is the future of the entire United States of America!

If I’m not mistaken, an episode of Sons of Guns was at this locations where a film was being made. The guys had made a movie gun for some actor on set.

Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and ripped the heart of fun and the amusement out of this park. Almost six years later, Six Flags in New Orleans is unnaturally silent, no lines and no laughter.

What??? Didn't they get any of the 20 billion dollars that was picked from our pockets?

Needs zombies.

[Yardstick]

That place has got to be crawling with zombies. There's no way it couldn't be. I wouldn't go in there with less than a 12 gauge and a machete.

Check out the story of the late, lamented Euclid Beach Park (1895 – September 28, 1969). Same story over 40 years ago.

How does that make you feel? I’ll tell you I’ve had it. My government seems to think these people can do no wrong and are entitled to everything they want at the taxpayers expense. It’s a good thing I don’t own a firearm— yet.

When I was a kid we used to go to Great Adventure NJ all the time. The safari was one of the first parks of that type and everyone I knew went once.

After a few years the park was full of kids from local schools (minority) and we stopped going because the place seemed lawless. They would push and shove and cut on lines, and we weren’t safe.

It was an eye opener for me. Everywhere I went (in school and such) I was told not to be biased, but when I went to Great Adventure I wasn’t safe because THEY were after ME, not the other way round like I was taught in school.

I think that was when I started to realize the libs in power were lying to me. The world wasn’t the way I was taught in school, and only people who were self deceptive as to reality believed it.

“I’d never heard of Six Flag New Orleans.”

It wasn’t very popular. It was too hot, no shade and overrun by ghetto thugs.

WE have 2 old abandoned amusment parks here but noth this big. Both were end of the line railroad amusment parks. Not sure about what the one at Buckeye lake looks like today but we used to go every so often when it still was in operation in the 1960’s and Moxahala Park was still open at times when I was in high school in the 1970’s.

[jmacusa]

Great Adventure you speak of is about a half-hour from me here in Ocean Co. I don’t go there and never would but I’ve known plenty of people who have gone and won’t go back because of what you describe. You’re right about liberals and race perceptions( I used to be a liberal). Most blacks and Latinos, most but not all, are savage and feral and very bigoted. I don’t give a rats whisker what anyone says. I’ve lived too long to be told other wise. There isn’t a white liberal anywhere in Gods creation who would ever live in Compton, Newark, Camden or anywhere else that liberalism has been a success(sarcasm).

If we are talking about old amusement parks, I here submit the most beautiful carousel I've ever been on. I grew up with the Nunley's carousel in Baldwin. It's now in a museum.

I remember when I first went to disney world I was disappointed on how inadequate their carousel was after nunleys.

The last Time I went to Great Adventure in Jackson,NJ was circa 1980. Just like you stated. The black kids cut in lines and ran wild. No one said a word to them. Kennywood Park near Pittsburgh,PA. was just starting to get like that but the park has metal detectors and lots of security now. Last year we went there and I felt safe.

Not politically correct either, are you? LOL
