re: The stench of the LSU Lakes "improvement"

Is there no modern engineering way to lay a bunch of rocks on top of the mud and make this a "mountain-like" blue water rock-bottom lake rather than the typical dirty mud-bottom lakes of the south. The lakes pretty small. Seems like there should be something they could do, though I guess it wouldn't last long

Wasn’t most of that done the first time they dredged the lakes?
Yes wood and stumps were removed during the first major dredging. The company that did the dredging made an absolute killing on selling the wood.
They made so much money that they passed a state law about any wood found this time belongs to the state. Advocate

That’s a false rumor: southern university moved to Baton Rouge in 1914: current location.
Huey, didn’t take governors office until 1928.

I don’t remember where I heard that. It wasn’t on here. Some professor at LSU said that shite in a lecture I was in back in the day haha.

Why do you want someone who understands what is being done to tell you what is being done in words you won't understand?
How does that leave you any better off than you are right now?

Once they get it deep they should allow 4 or 5 boats on there at a time for skiing or fishing. However much is safe. People could sign up for it. Maybe just a couple days a week if people think that would be annoying.

Apparently it’s not entirely incorrect because the move from Nola was in part due to racism in uptown area ( reading this on wiki) but also the move was about being closer to rural farmers, and I’m sure cheaper land for expansion of the university. Still the timing doesn’t work out , for Huey to have made an impact on this decision.

Sorry bud, this ain't the Ozarks.

Are the Ozarks like the end all be all for the hicks of this website? Plenty of clear water all over the US. Might as well try and make the water in this town nice and usable for the decent people that live here and the ones that choose to go to school here. Or perhaps not and maybe ever one should abandon this place. Wouldn’t make a difference to me. I’m out of here most likely in a year.
