I answered yes. They then proceeded to ask if I was I black and over 30. I once again explained, yes. Dispatch asked my full name and I told them. Next was utter silence then the dial tone. They disconnected the call. Each repetitive attempt to reach Nopd was unsuccessful. I think they blocked my number. The suspect finally gave up and drove off.

But since it's Yelp, I'll share. I absolutely hate driving in traffic. When the heavy load of rush hour and accidents are on I10 the Seabrook Bridge is the way to go. Not only is it convenient with less traffic you also have a wonderful view of another part of this beautiful city. If you do happen to travel this way, please behave, be courteous and please do the speed limit.

The Bridge As Jen mentioned, for years my only experience with this bridge was hearing it in traffic reports. I heard the name so much associated with issues that I figured I'd avoid it at all costs. It's a short bridge. Drive with your eyes closed as I often do and you'll miss it. The View The best part of this bridge is that it goes high enough that you get a pretty good view of Lakefront Airport and Lake Pontchartrain. I enjoy looking at all the prop planes, private jets and containers of Avgas and Jet-A. The Super Secret Shortcut If you're coming from Nola East during rush hour, I strongly suggest this route: Hayne to Seabrook, turn right on to Lakeshore, Lakeshore to West End and on to the interstate. I estimate this route saves me about 30 minutes of horrific I-10 traffic, plus the view from the bridge and of the lake calms this savage beast. Now don't mess it up and tell your friends!

The current 1855 brick lighthouse replaced an earlier wooden one that had been built in 1832. It used to be the called the Pontchartrain Beach Lighthouse and marked the western end of the Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park. The land here is now part of the University of New Orleans campus, the UNO Research and Technology Park. It's not very tall and there is no good parking nearby. The structure has fallen into a bit of disrepair and is scheduled for restoration. A fence surrounds the building to keep out explorers but you can get close.

From Native Americans to Pontchartrain Beach this area of New Orleans history is long and…read moreinteresting as New Orleans owes a lot of its very existence to Bayou St. John. At the original point where Lake Pontchartrain met Bayou St. John now sits the crumbling remains of an old fort known variously as The Old Spanish Fort, Fort St. John or most commonly just Spanish Fort. The history of this fort goes back before New Orleans existed and it went from being a military installation to a resort for the elite of New Orleans which was transformed into an amusement park for the masses which evolved into Pontchartrain Beach along with entertaining generations of New Orleans residents. The Spanish Fort amusement park was an integral part of the development of New Orleans culture and Jazz history. Notable restaurants in the Spanish Fort park area included Moreau's Restaurant, Noy's Restaurant, Over the Rhine Restaurant and Tranchina's Restaurant. The park eventually was forced to move out of Spanish Fort due to the lakefront land reclamation project of the Orleans Parish Levee Board. The Spanish Fort park reinvented itself and moved nearby onto some of the newly reclaimed land in 1924 and transformed into the first Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park. The first Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park closed in 1938, to move to an even larger location in what used to be Milneburg, and opened in 1939. The Spainish Fort and Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Parks brought joy to thousands of people over many generations. Sadly the amazing history of Spanish Fort along with its important place in the good food, good times and good people history of New Orleans has largely been forgotten by most these days and few even know about the crumbling ruins that remain of the old Spanish Fort of Fort St. John. This is definitely New Orleans history that deserves to be remembered. Fort St. John having been such a huge part of New Orleans history from before the city existed to The Battle of New Orleans and to just being a place of joy for so many is worthy of preservation.

The fenced in plot has a unique story. Evidently, one of the soldiers fell in love with a local native American and was killed by the father, the chief of the tribe, when he found out. This used to be a way of moving goods into New Orleans via the water way that leads to bayou St John and into the city. This is a perfect spot for a picnic. There are no grills there, so bring your own food, and remember to take your garbage with you. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a blanket to sit on, there are no picnic tables or benches. Be respectful of the nearby neighbors and their privacy.
