|  | | | Had a pretty adventuresome weekend with UrbexKeith and a few locals. Sorry for the long post.
First up was a stunning theater at a historically black high school opened in 1942 that closed after hurricane Katrina in 2005. Then we headed to another school, this time a parochial school opened in 1925 and closed in 1978. We visited an old Police station in operation from 1903 until 1951 when it was turned into a community center and library. We concluded the weekend with a medical office building, also closed post-katrina, and a power substation that opened in 1909 and closed at a yet undetermined time.
Bonus photos: an old tunnel we found and an open grave in a cemetery behind the substation.

Grave:
if you look at the sides of the mausoleum, you can see the metal handles that would have been attached to the now-rotten wooden coffin.
