For starters it's not a bay

The Rigolets opening is really narrow so calling it a lake is close enough. Outside of the really narrow Rigolets and Chef Menteur Pass for the NOLA queers openings Lake Pontchartrain is closed off. It's one of those "good enough" things.

Lake Borgne on the other hand. Yeah that one is fricked up.

Chef Menteur is at your local Sonic with an order of “Yourasskicked” awaiting you.

Lake Borgne was a lot more land locked when it was named.

A good word to use to figure out if someone is from around the area or not. Not as good as Natchitoches but close.

Do we let that pass because most of it's water comes from MS Sound, which gets most of it's water from rivers, as opposed to the water really being true Gulf Water?
