Katrina I’d imagine.. There are only a few restaurants below Jesuit Bend now.. There’s just not much of a customer base south of JB anymore..



It goes back a lot further than Katrina...Betsy wiped pretty much everything south of the Empire Canal...4 years later Camille did it again...

Freeport Sulphur shutting down killed Port Sulphur...the dock on the river where my dad used to tie up with the liquid sulphur barges are long gone

Betsy was in 2001? If you mean 40, ok. But while Betsy may have wiped out a lot, wat more of a comeback was made compared to post-Katrina.

It definitely put a hurt on the town. My uncle, and a few guys I work with worked there until the end.
