Abandoned Six Flags amusement park in New Orleans East.<br />
Not amusing any more. <br />
'Closed for storm.' Six Flags former amusement park radiates an eerie post apocalyptic sense of foreboding in it's abandonment. The park was destroyed by hurricane Katrina in August 2005, stripped by copper thieves and is slowly being reclaimed by the land it stands on. The site is now home to thriving wildlife. Would be developers for the former Jazzland site have proposed various ideas over the years to revive the area into a theme park and shopping complex, proposals which have been rejected by the Industrial Development Board. <br />

Hurricane Isaac 1 year later. <br />
The predominantly white upper middle class neighborhood of Braithwaite Park, established in 1936 remains eerie and abandoned as residents failed to return following the flooding and subsequent chemical spill from nearby Stolthaven chemical storage facility.  Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />

Hurricane Isaac 1 year later. <br />
The predominantly white upper middle class neighborhood of Braithwaite Park, established in 1936 remains eerie and abandoned as residents failed to return following the flooding and subsequent chemical spill from nearby Stolthaven chemical storage facility.  Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />

'Closed for storm.' Six Flags former amusement park radiates an eerie post apocalyptic sense of foreboding in it's abandonment. The park was destroyed by hurricane Katrina in August 2005, stripped by copper thieves and is slowly being reclaimed by the land it stands on. The site is now home to thriving wildlife. Would be developers for the former Jazzland site have proposed various ideas over the years to revive the area into a theme park and shopping complex, proposals which have been rejected by the Industrial Development Board. <br />

'Closed for storm.' Not amusing any more. Six Flags amusement park radiates an eerie post apocalyptic sense of foreboding in it's abandonment. The park was destroyed by hurricane Katrina , stripped by copper thieves and is slowly being reclaimed by the land it stands on. It is slated for demolition following a lease dispute between the City and Six Flags.<br />
