A lot of what you see there was that way prior to Katrina. Six Flags for instance had been closed for years. It was a fun place, unfortunately being in the East, it was overrun by a lot of kids that just went there to hang out and cause trouble. Then the paying folks stopped going and it, like everything else in the East, went to shit. Hell, hey couldn't even keep a mall open because people were being shot and/or robbed in the parking lot.
The Lower Nine and other places like that, had been shitholes for years.
Holy shit!!
You just described the demise of Astro World in Houston to a T!!
Parents would spring for a season pass and drop the broke ass punks at the park all year rather than have to deal with them.
Of course it wasnt long after that the first stabbing happened and that was the end of that.
