Most people who are under 50 years old in the New Orleans area have NO idea whatsoever that there used to be an entire amusement park and beach on Lake Ponchartrain where people would go, enjoy the day, and enjoy the beach.
This is because the water became so polluted that families no longer thought that it was safe to be in. It's been decades now and the water quality is just starting to be clean enough to swim in again.
