little known Civil War trivia, there used to be a CSA submarine manufacturing base on the Red River in SHV, right on the point where Cross Bayou dumps into the Red, part of the original structure is still there

Just like I ask in Nola threads, are there a lot of tourist and everyday folks being gunned down there? I’m sure the answer is no

First I've heard of it, though I did see that a Navy Band was going to toot some horns at the farmers market next Saturday.

ETA: Just noticed there are only 2 events on the linked Calendar of Events. One is the farmers market.
