Deweyville Swing Bridge

The Deweyville Swing Bridge, also known as Deweyville-Starks Swing Bridge and Sabine River Bridge, is a swing bridge which carries Texas State Highway 12 and Louisiana Highway 12 across the Sabine River at the Texas-Louisiana border. The bridge connects Deweyville, Texas to rural Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, near the community of Starks. The Texas Highway Department and Louisiana Highway Commission built the bridge as a joint effort in 1936–38; the two highway departments used federal funding from Depression-era relief programs to complete the project. The bridge was one of four federally funded bridges between Texas and Louisiana built during the Great Depression. The swing bridge design, in which the center section of the bridge can rotate, allowed a variety of boats to pass by on the swift river. The bridge is the oldest surviving swing bridge of its design in Texas and one of three such bridges in the state. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 8, 2011.

Dixie Center for the Arts

The Dixie Center for the Arts, also known as the Dixie Theater or simply the Dixie, is a theater-style venue located at 212 North Vienna Street in Ruston, Louisiana. The venue originally opened as the Astor Theater in 1928. The Astor offered showings of silent films and live concerts with tickets ranging from 10 to 50 cents. In 1932 the Astor Theater underwent lite renovations with the most notable being the addition of a crystal chandelier and a change in identity from the Astor to the Rialto. In the early 1950s, the theater underwent one last name change. After being purchased from the famous Dixie Theater Corporation of New Orleans, the space was officially known as the Dixie Theater. The corporation renovated the space and re-opened in 1956. The most notable renovation to the space was the addition of air conditioning and the iconic flashing neon star which rises above the marquee. After years of neglect and disrepair, the space underwent an extensive renovation to preserve the historic venue. The Dixie Center for the Arts held a grand re-opening for the space in 2006 and has remained the proprietor of the property since. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 14, 1993. It was also declared a contributing property of Downtown Ruston Historic District at the time of its creation on January 31, 2017. Tenants In addition to being a rent-able space for various event, many artistic and musical organizations call the Dixie their home.

Holt Cemetery

Holt Cemetery is a potter's field cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. It is located next to Delgado Community College, behind the right field fence of the college's baseball facility, Kirsch-Rooney Stadium. The cemetery is named after Dr. Joseph Holt, an official of the New Orleans Board of Health (famously involved with city health issues concerning Storyville, the Red-light district of New Orleans) who officially established the cemetery in the 19th century. Holt Cemetery is one of the Historic Cemeteries of New Orleans. The cemetery was established in 1879 to inter the bodies of poor or indigent residents of the city. Funeral processions to Holt Cemetery were generally around, rather than through, the city. The original cemetery was 5.5 acres, and it was expanded in 1909 to 7 acres. Nearly all of the tombs are in-ground burials. As established, ownership of the graves at Holt Cemetery were given to the families of the deceased for the cost of digging the grave and subsequent maintenance of the plot. Most of the graves and tombs at Holt Cemetery were not commercially or professionally produced but were instead fabricated by families of the deceased, giving the cemetery a strong personal touch. The cemetery contains the remains of early blues and jazz musicians including Babe Stovall, Jessie Hill and Charles "Buddy" Bolden. The battered remains of Robert Charles, at the center of the 1900 New Orleans race riot were briefly interred there, then dug up, and incinerated. Over the years, Holt Cemetery has been a destination of ghost hunters, with frequent incidents of grave-robbing and reports of Voodoo and Santería rituals. In one notable case, a neopagan witch named Ender Darling took bones from Holt Cemetery for use in magic, posting an offer on a Facebook group for neopagan witches to sell the bones for the cost of shipping. The post quickly attracted controversy on Facebook and Tumblr, leading to Darling's investigation and arrest, the collapse of the Facebook group the offer was posted on, and a new state law strengthening penalties for trafficking in human remains. The city of New Orleans conducted $450,000 in repairs and upgrades to Holt Cemetery in 2013 and 2014. However, the graves and tombs themselves remain in a state of significant neglect, with human remains being evident. New burials continue at Holt Cemetery, and the graves show evidence for frequent visits and various cultural materials. References

Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies

Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies is a Magnet School in the Jefferson Parish School District. Haynes has been designated a Five Star School by the Louisiana Department of Education. The Haynes Academy is named after Vernon C. Haynes, a former principal of the school. History Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies was established in 1909 by the Jefferson Parish School Board and named Metairie Ridge School. By 1912, the wood-framed, one-room schoolhouse had grown to an enrollment of 54. By 1929, grades 1 through 12 had been established and the school was renamed Metairie High School. After East Jefferson High opened in 1955, it was converted to a junior high school and Vernon C. Haynes became the principal. During the 1968–69 school year, the two-story school building, which had been used for 44 years, was torn down and replaced with the present single-story building. In 1969, it became Metairie Middle School. On November 22, 1974, the school's name was once again changed to the Vernon C. Haynes Middle School in honor of the former principal. Haynes Middle School became Haynes Middle School for Advanced People in October 2004, and then became Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies in May 2006 after adding one high school grade each year. The class of 2010 was the first class to graduate from Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies. In the 2023-2024 school year, the Jefferson Parish School system saw major changes such as the relocation of Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies students to the Grace King High School campus. The current campus is on Grace King Place. There is a proposal to rename Haynes after Grace King as "Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies at Grace King Place. Though the school's name has changed many times throughout the years, the mascot has stayed the same. The Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies’ mascot is the Yellow Jacket (named Felix and Felicity). Athletics Haynes Academy athletics competes in the LHSAA. Haynes Academy offers boys football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, soccer, track, and cross country along with girls soccer, golf, swimming, track, softball, cheerleading, and basketball.

Waffle House

Waffle House (englisch für „Waffelhaus“) ist eine US-amerikanische Restaurantkette, die Waffeln mit verschiedenen Füllungen und Beilagen vertreibt. Dabei handelt es sich fast ausschließlich um herzhafte Füllungen und Beilagen (Fleisch, Eier, Käse etc.). Sitz des Unternehmens ist Norcross, Georgia. Geschichte Das Unternehmen wurde 1955 von Joe Rogers, Sr. und Tom Forkner gegründet. Sie eröffneten zunächst ein kleines Geschäft in Avondale Estates, Georgia, um die Nachbarschaft mit Waffeln zu verköstigen. Mit der Zeit eröffneten sie an weiteren Standorten Restaurants. 2005 feierten die beiden Gründer zusammen mit ihren ca. 30.000 Mitarbeitern das 50-jährige Bestehen. Im Jahr 2018 hatte das Waffle House 2.100 Filialen in 25 Staaten der Vereinigten Staaten. Am 25. März 2020, dem offiziellen internationalen Tag der Waffel, gab das Unternehmen aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie in den Vereinigten Staaten die Schließung von 365 seiner Filialen in den Vereinigten Staaten bekannt; die restlichen 1.627 Filialen sollten weiterhin geöffnet bleiben. Bereits zehn Tage zuvor hatte das Unternehmen angekündigt, seine rund 45.000 Mitarbeiter behalten zu wollen, um eine Arbeitslosigkeit dieser abzuwenden. Waffle House Index Seit 2011 wird die Kette als inoffizieller Indikator für Katastrophenschäden der Federal Emergency Management Agency herangezogen, als der Joplin-Tornado große Schäden anrichtete, aber zwei Restaurants im betroffenen Gebiet offen blieben. Da alle Filialen der Kette 24 Stunden an 365 Tagen im Jahr geöffnet haben und dafür bekannt sind, selbst in schlimmsten Wetterlagen durchgehend geöffnet zu bleiben, kann der Katastrophenschutz anhand des Stromverbrauchs der Filialen Rückschlüsse auf die Lage in der direkten Umgebung gewinnen. Diese Informationsquelle wird Waffle House Index genannt. Der Index hat drei Stufen: Grün: vollständiges Menü – Restaurant hat Strom und der Schaden ist begrenzt oder nicht vorhanden Gelb: eingeschränktes Menü – kein Strom oder Strom nur aus Generatoren oder Verfügbarkeit von Speisen ist begrenzt Rot: Restaurant hat geschlossen – ernsthafte Schäden oder Überflutungen.

Waffle House

Waffle House est une chaîne de restaurant américaine spécialisée dans le service de gaufres. Elle compte 1 650 points de vente sur le continent américain, dans 25 États différents, la majorité d'entre eux étant localisés dans le sud-est des États-Unis. Histoire Le premier restaurant Waffle House ouvrit ses portes en 1955 en Géorgie (États-Unis). Ce bâtiment a depuis été converti en un musée retraçant l'histoire des restaurants et la success story du groupe. Identité visuelle Les restaurants Waffle House reprennent en majorité les codes des diners américain. La plupart des restaurants possèdent par exemple un juke-box. Stratégie de crise La franchise est devenue célèbre sur le continent américain pour sa stratégie spécifique liée aux situations de crises. Ainsi, ses restaurants sont parmi les rares à continuer de servir les clients lors de coupure de gaz, d'électricité ou d'eau. Waffle House a développé pour ce genre de cas des procédures spéciales (ce qui peut être cuisiné et comment), et a formé ses employés pour répondre à ces situations. Cette capacité de résilience exceptionnelle, ajoutée au fait que les restaurants de la chaîne sont théoriquement ouverts 24h/24 et 7j/7 a donné naissance à la création d'un « indice Waffle House ». Cette métrique informelle est utilisée par les services de secours pour évaluer l'ampleur et la gravité d'un sinistre (inondation, coupure de courant, intempérie) sur une zone donnée. Cet indice est calculé à partir du nombre de restaurants Waffle House fermés dans la zone concernée.

Iglesia de San Carlos Borromeo (Destrehan)

La iglesia de San Carlos Borromeo es una iglesia católica de época de la Luisiana Francesa del siglo XVIII situada en Destrehan, Luisiana, Estados Unidos. Se trata de la segunda parroquia eclesiástica más antigua de la arquidiócesis de Nueva Orleans. Historia La construcción de la iglesia de San Carlos Borromeo data de la época de la Luisiana Francesa en la región de Côte des Allemands (Costa Alemana), en la que se establecieron colonos católicos procedentes de Renania y Suiza. La primera capilla fue fundada en 1723 de la parroquia de San Juan de los Alemanes (paroisse de St. Jean des Allemands, en francés) por frailes capuchinos. El lugar elegido fue Karlstein, en las inmediaciones de la actual Taft (Luisiana).En 1740 los frailes trasladaron la parroquia a su ubicación actual, edificando una primera iglesia de casa de troncos bajo la advocación de san Carlos Borromeo.​​​ Tras la anexión del Territorio de Luisiana a Estados Unidos (1805) la iglesia se quemó 1806. En su lugar se construyó la Pequeña Iglesia Roja, edificada en madera pintada de ese color. El lugar se convirtió en un punto de referencia para la navegación fluvial, siendo tradicionalmente el punto del río Misisipi donde los capitanes pagaban a sus tripulaciones. En 1877, un incendio destruyó la rectoría, quedando sin sacerdote. A partir de 1890, la iglesia entró en un período de interdicción, perdiendo el apoyo pastoral del arzobispo Francis Janssens. En 1917 la parroquia fue restablecida dentro de la arquidiócesis de Nueva Orleans por el arzobispo James Blenk. El edificio actual data de 1921, edificado tras el incendio de la Pequeña Iglesia Roja ese mismo año. Desde 1929 los terrenos de la parroquia albergan una escuela primaria católica, siendo la más antigua de la región situada entre Nueva Orleans y Baton Rouge. Además, en 1948 las hermanas de la congregación de la Inmaculada Concepción establecieron una escuela de secundaria. La escuela fue trasladada en 1978 a LaPlace (Luisiana) convirtiéndose en St. Charles Catholic High School . Descripción La iglesia actual data de 1922, construida con fachada blanca y techo de teja española. Frente a la iglesia está situada una estatua de San Carlos Borromeo. La piedra del altar de la iglesia reposa sobre un tronco de nogal procedente de Arona, Italia, cuya antigüedad de cuatrocientos años entronca con la época de san Carlos Borromeo en Arona. Su cementerio es el cementerio alemán más antiguo del sur de los EE. UU. Destacan las tumbas de Charles Frederick d'Arensbourg, líder de la población de la Costa Alemana, de Jean Noël Destréhan de la familia Destrehan y primer senador estatal por Luisiana, y de los fallecidos en la revuelta de la Costa Alemana (1811).
