Finally, a topic that I can be helpful on.
I was born and raised in Port Sulphur, which is about 15 miles north of Buras. My father worked in Buras.
It "was" a wonderful community, as was all of Plaquemines Parish.
As a young boy, I "thought" I needed to get out to see the world, but wished I had never moved.
At first glance, it's not pretty at all......unless you get out on the water, then it is paradise. It was the people that made the place, and they aren't there anymore.
Our family homestead was wiped right down to the foundation. There are still no utilities down there and the only sources of groceries, etc. are in temporary trailers.
It is a completely different place now than it was pre-katrina. It would have been safer than the average town prior to, but don't know now. I would guess very safe, as it is an abandoned town.
To give you an idea of how far out in the boonies it is, the nearest redlight is about 50 miles away in Belle Chase.
Bring your fishing pole!!! Try to find a way to get out to do some shallow water redfishing. That area is arguably the finest sports fishery in the world. Yes, the world!
Go to Salvo's in Belle Chase for boiled seafood one night.
