From my other review of St. Bernard Parish:
WELCOME TO THE PARISH!!!!!!
St Bernard Parish has flourished post Hurricane Katrina.
As a child, I can distinctly remember this area being not as "fun", actually NO FUN; but now there's a hospital, a WalMart, an IHOP, a Home Depot, a movie theater, a plethora of fast food eateries, shops ie dollar tree (my fav), Rue 21 & I can go on & on.
There's a new state of the art high school.
The police/sheriff department "seems" to be a lot better, although recently marred by scandal but what police/sheriff's department isn't, anywho.
Nunez Community College has/is growing by leaps & bounds (although this seems to be the "par for the course" as of late) & is making an impact on the community at large; impressive.
Unfortunate for this area, they still get lots of flooding, even now post-Katrina.
All in all, I frequent the area more now than ever before. I'm quite pleased with the progress in the area & hope they continue. read more
