Fair Grounds Field

Fair Grounds Field was a baseball stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana, located next to Independence Stadium on the Louisiana State Fair Grounds just off Interstate 20. Fair Grounds Field opened in 1986 and underwent renovations in 1999, 2009, and 2011. The stadium had a seating capacity of 4,200 people. In the past Fair Grounds Field served as the home field of the Shreveport Captains, Shreveport Swamp Dragons, Shreveport-Bossier Sports, and Shreveport-Bossier Captains minor league and independent baseball teams. Fair Grounds Field hosted the 1986 and 1995 Texas League All-Star Games; 1995 Double-A All-Star Game; 1995, 1996, and 1998 Southland Conference baseball tournament; 2004 Summit League baseball tournament; and 2011 Southwestern Athletic Conference baseball tournament. Fair Grounds Field has hosted many college baseball teams including LSU, Louisiana Tech, Northwestern State, Centenary, and LSU–Shreveport. The facility has also been used by local high school baseball teams. In 2019, there was a $1 million bond issue, however local voters didn't support it, and as of late, there are no plans from the city of Shreveport on what the future of the property will look like. The city decided to demolish the venue, and a 60 day contract was signed in 2024, with the works expected to be completed in late 2024 or early 2025. References

Fontainebleau State Park

Fontainebleau State Park is located in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The park is 2,800 acres (1,100 ha) in size and was once the site of a sugar cane plantation and brickyard operated by Bernard de Marigny and later by his son Armand Marigny. The park has a multitude of habitats for birds.

Marigny operated a sugar mill that was built in 1829. He named his large holding Fontainebleau after the beautiful forest near Paris, France. In 1840, his son Armand documented the presence of 153 enslaved individuals at the site, including 57 children under the age of ten. Fontainebleau State Park is surrounded on three sides by water: Lake Pontchartrain, Bayou Cane, and Bayou Castine. The state originally named the park Tchefuncte State Park and Conservation Reservation, after the Tchefuncte River. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Fort Proctor

Fort Proctor is a ruined 19th century fort in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, USA. It is also known as Fort Beauregard or Beauregard's Castle (after P.G.T. Beauregard, who supervised its construction with the architect J.G. Totten). The fort is on the shore of Lake Borgne just north of the mouth of Bayou Yscloskey. At the time it was built in the 1850s, there was also an adjacent railroad port called "Proctorville". The fort was intended to be part of the fortifications protecting water routes towards New Orleans. In 1814, the British Army had attacked New Orleans after their navy advanced up Lake Borgne and defeated a small flotilla of gunboats belonging to the New Orleans station (US Navy), in the Battle of Lake Borgne. Due to delays caused by hurricane damage, and then the outbreak of the American Civil War, the fort was never garrisoned. By the end of the Civil War, improvements in artillery had made the design of the fort obsolete. In the 1940s and 1950s, before it was engulfed by Lake Borgne, the ruins of the fort were a popular gathering place for teenagers seeking a spot where they would not be supervised. The construction of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal in the 1960s cut off all land access to the fort site. It can be seen in the distance from Shell Beach, Louisiana. In 1978, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is now completely surrounded by water about one foot deep. Before Hurricane Katrina, there remained one small piece of dry land inside of the fort. The fort was unusual in its design for two innovations: the inclusion of comfortable living quarters including bathrooms, and the extensive use of structural iron in its construction.

Gallier Hall

Gallier Hall is a historic building on St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is the former New Orleans city hall, and continues in civic use. Built 1845–1853, it is a nationally significant example of Greek Revival architecture, and one of the finest works of architect James Gallier. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974. Description and history Gallier Hall is located on St. Charles Avenue at Lafayette Square in the Central Business District. The building was originally designed to be the city hall of New Orleans by the architect, James Gallier Sr. Construction began in 1845, and the building was dedicated on 10 May 1853. Gallier Hall is a three-story marble structure fronted by two rows of fluted Ionic columns in the Neoclassical style. It is one of the most important structures built during the antebellum period of the city. After its dedication in 1853, Gallier Hall remained the city hall for just over a century. Many important events during the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the era of Louisiana governor Huey Long took place at Gallier Hall. After the City Hall was moved to the modern complex at Duncan Plaza in the 1950s, old Gallier Hall nonetheless continued its traditional place of honor during Mardi Gras. Viewing galleries in front of the hall are reserved for Mardi Gras royalty, and parades on the St. Charles route pause in front of them. Marching bands typically perform shows here during the parades. On Mardi Gras Day the mayor of New Orleans toasts the kings of the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club and Rex Parade here. Gallier Hall is currently a convention center, reception hall, and home of the Ty Tracy Theatre, named for the late artistic director of the New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) Theatre. The Ty Tracy Theatre is home to Julie Condy's Crescent City Lights Youth Theatre organization. The building also serves as the venue for special civic functions such as mayoral inaugurations. The remains of particularly distinguished citizens sometimes lie in state here following their death, as a sign of deep citywide respect.

Garyville Refinery

The Garyville Refinery is the 4th largest American oil refinery with a nameplate capacity of 597,000 barrels per day (94,900 m3/d). The refinery is owned and operated by Marathon Petroleum Corporation. It is located in southeastern Louisiana between New Orleans and Baton Rouge on U.S. Route 61 in Garyville, Louisiana. The facility is the newest major grassroots refinery built in the United States, located on 3,500 acres of land adjacent to the Mississippi River. The refinery is on the former San Francisco Plantation property, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974. Construction began in 1973 by ECOL, Ltd. Construction was completed in 1976, and the refinery was purchased by Marathon Oil Company. Since then, the refinery has been expanded on multiple occasions, most recently with the $3.9 billion Garyville Major Expansion (GME) Project, completed in 2009. This, along with subsequent debottlenecking, increased capacity by 234,000 barrels per day (37,200 m3/d). Garyville Refinery operations consist of crude distillation, hydrocracking, catalytic cracking, hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, alkylation, sulfur recovery, and coking. The facility primarily processes heavy sour crude oils to produce gasoline, diesel, asphalt, propylene, isobutane, propane, fuel-grade coke, and sulfur. Feedstocks are supplied via pipeline, truck, barge, rail, and ocean tanker. The refinery employs 900 employees and 600 contract workers. Refinery Fire On August 25, 2023, a naphtha storage tank within the Garyville Refinery caught fire following a 13-hour-long naphtha leak. The fire later spread to an adjacent storage tank for diesel fuel. Fires at the facility burned for three days. St. John Parish issued an two-mile evacuation order on the first day of the fire, leading to the evacuation of 2,800 people from the area. The evacuation lasted less than 4 hours, despite the ongoing fires and pollution reported by residents. See also List of oil refineries Marathon Petroleum Company San Francisco Plantation References
Raffinerie de Garyville

La raffinerie de Garyville est, en janvier 2023, la seconde plus importante raffinerie de pétrole des États-Unis. Elle était en 2014 au troisième rang. Elle est située en Louisiane, dans le CDP de Garyville. Sa capacité de raffinage s'élève à 522 000 barils par jour en 2014 et 593 000 barils par jour début 2023, sa production en avril 2023 étant de 578 000 bpj. La raffinerie est exploitée par la Marathon Petroleum Corporation. Historique La construction de la raffinerie a commencé en 1973 pour s'achever en 1976. En 2014, c'est la dernière raffinerie à avoir été construite sur le sol américain. Une extension de la raffinerie, débutée en 2007 s'est achevée en 2009, augmentant la capacité de la raffinerie de 245 000 barils par jour à 522 000 barils par jour. Une nouvelle extension a été proposée en 2014 pour un projet qui pourrait s'étendre entre 2015 et 2018. Trois incendies ont touché le site en 2023. le dernier se déclenche sur deux des conteneurs de la raffinerie le 25 août 2023 à 6 h 31 (heure locale). Il fait suite à une fuite du conteneur 150-11 connue dès 6 h 38 (heure locale) le 24 août alors rempli de 67 770 barils de naphta. L'incendie est éteint le 28 août après avoir détruit quatre conteneurs. La production est réduite depuis cette date. Au total, 3 760 000 kg d'hydrocarbure inflammable sont relâchés dans l'environnement. Il s'agit d'une des plus importantes pollutions chimiques survenues aux États-Unis en trente ans selon l'Agence de Protection de l'Environnement des États-Unis (EPA). Bien que la cause du sinistre soit toujours incertaine en septembre 2024, l'EPA suggère une origine électrique dans un rapport d'inspection publié en août 2024 tandis que la police de l'État de Louisiane (LSP) suggère de son côté qu'une sécheresse pourrait l'avoir favorisé. Le 9 septembre 2024, l'institut de recherche Forensic Architecture dévoile en partenariat avec le Guardian et plusieurs associations environnementales et communautaires les résultats de son enquête sur l'incendie d'août 2023. Elle y pointe la minimisation des risques sanitaires par les autorités locales et la Marathon Petroleum Corporation. Parmi les faits reprochés figurent également l'évacuation ordonné tardivement et sa levée prématurée aggravant l'exposition aux particules fines ainsi que leur communication avec la population parfois confuse voire incohérente.
