We're the type of place that, because we made it to the semifinals of the basketball state tournament this week, everyone who ever played is posting their old pics on facebook from when they played...
And the school is shutting down early on Thursday.
What cracks me up is all the people on FB talking about how grand of a gesture they are making by supporting CHS even though they went to St Bernard or AJ.

I graduated from St Bernard. But, I support the only high school left in my home town.

I went there for for an interview in 1990, and it didn't look too bad then. I went buy a pack of cigarettes and ran into John Folse coming out of the store. 
that's all I got
that's all I got

The Chalmette accent is it's own language.

Good to find out who the Chalmations are on the OT

Work in Metry, live in Slidell, but lived in St. Bernard for most of my life. If the same people who lived there previously had moved back after Katrina, I would have moved there in a heartbeat. All you people shitting on Chalmette have no idea what it was like back then.

A) There is no bridge separating St. Bernard from the 9th Ward. Jackson Barracks separates them.
I was typing fast and for some reason "bridges" was standing in for "train tracks" in my mind. I do that a lot. I grew up in NOLA my entire life, Im well aware of Jackson Barracks and the downriver area.

B) St. Bernard got as much water as the 9th Ward - if not more. Why would they be trying to swim into St. Bernard?
I have no idea. The story I referenced was one that I heard from many individuals. Never made much sense to me either but I always imagined it occurred right before landfall as a few remaining people attempted to flee the city.

Chalmette produces fine secretaries and receptionists, and has a pipeline into the Saintsations and Honeybees.

I answered this in the post above.

No one stood on the tracks either.

You have no idea. You're right about that.

They absolutely did. A friend who of mine who was part of the law enforcement help sent to assist during Katrina was tasked to that exact detail. 12 hour shifts and they stayed in the Jackson Barracks.

The police presence was around well after the flood waters were super high. It lasted over a year.

My brother has been with the STB sheriff's office for over 25 years and was there. The details at the parish line were STB officers that could get back or stayed, LSP and National Guard. Civilians couldn't get into the parish until October and when we went back you had to show ID. They did that to prevent looting. No one was on the tracks. That's not even the parish line.

STB housed their officers in trailers at the port by November. I spent Christmas that year in a govt issued single wide with free directv.

The officers I speak of weren't STB deputies. There were leo from all across the state there. My friend spent two weeks working 12 hour shifts on those tracks. Your STB friend could've been sent anywhere.

No shite. My grandpa used to lease the battfield for his dairy farm before the Second World War. Used to live right on it by the rail road tracks. My great grandma still had house well into the 60's. They were a simple people before all the wars. Back then that shite was considered country. Farmer to a silver star hero at the bulge I think he did ok for himself. My dad grew up not far and I tell you what it was a different city back then. He used to take a bus from delery st all the way the mcmain for school when he was in 6th grade. You can't do that shite now.
