Blackham Coliseum

Blackham Coliseum is a multipurpose arena in Lafayette, Louisiana. It was built on the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus in 1949 as the home to the then-named SLI Bulldogs, now called the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball teams. The arena was named for Stafford Morgan Blackham, former dean of the Department of Animal Husbandry at SLI, and as such it was built to host livestock exhibitions as well as athletics (in a similar manner to the usage of LSU's Parker Coliseum). It replaced the 1,500-seat Earl K. Long Gymnasium as home to the athletics teams. It remained the home for the men's team until the Cajundome was completed in 1984. The women continue to play the majority of their games at Earl K. Long. Blackham hosted the Southland Conference men's basketball tournament in 1982. In the 1960s, it became popular as a venue for pop concerts where acts like The Supremes, James Brown and Jackie Wilson. The Supremes played to soldout audiences on their "Symphony Tour 1965". Today it is still in use, seating 5,500 for basketball and up to 9,800 for concerts. It also features 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) of space at the main arena, with two barns adding 46,500 square feet (4,300 m2) of space. Altogether, the three buildings can also be used for trade shows, rodeos and conventions. In the fall of 2009, the revived Louisiana IceGators began play there as a member of the Southern Professional Hockey League. In April 2009, the venue held its first heavy metal concert, the 2009 No Fear Music Tour featuring Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying, Children of Bodom, God Forbid and Municipal Waste. The venue serves as home to the Grammy-styled, annual Le Cajun Music Awards Festival held every August by the Cajun French Music Association, an association of Cajun music enthusiasts for the preservation of the Cajun music, language, heritage and culture.

Bonnet Carré Spillway

Der Bonnet Carré Spillway ist ein Wasserbauwerk zum Hochwasserschutz am Unterlauf des Mississippi. Das Bauwerk liegt im St. Charles Parish im US-Bundesstaat Louisiana, rund 19 km westlich von New Orleans. Die 1931 fertiggestellte Anlage ermöglicht es, Hochwasser aus dem Mississippi in den Lake Pontchartrain und schließlich in den Golf von Mexiko abzuleiten. Geschichte In der Siedlungsgeschichte der sumpfigen Region am Unterlauf des Mississippi kämpften die Bewohner immer wieder mit verheerenden Hochwassern. Bei der Mississippiflut 1927 wurde eine Fläche von 70.000 km² überschwemmt. Daraufhin wurde 1928 ein Flood Control Act verabschiedet, der dem Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Handhabe gab, Hochwasserschutzbauwerke zu errichten, um eine ähnliche Katastrophe künftig zu verhindern. Als Teil der Hochwasservorsorge am unteren Mississippi Valley wurde der Bonnet Carré Spillway 1931 fertig gestellt. Es war Teil des größeren Hochwasserschutzplans für den gesamten Einzugsgebiet des Mississippi River, des Mississippi River and Tributaries Project. Die Fluttore wurden bislang 14 mal geöffnet: 1937, 1945, 1950, 1973, 1975, 1979, 1983, 1997, 2008, 2011, 2016, 2018 und (zweimal) 2019. Bei der Mississippiflut 2011 öffnete das USACE am 9. Mai 2011 den Bonnet Carré Spillway als Entlastungskanal, um eine weitere Überflutung von New Orleans zu verhindern. Zunächst wurden nur 28 Tore, dann 44 und schließlich 330 bis zum 18. Mai geöffnet. Konstruktion des Wehrs Das entlang des Mississippi angelegte, 7700 Fuß (etwa 1,5 Meilen = 2,4 km) lange Wehr besitzt eine Reihe von 350 Fluttoren. Jedes Tor wird mit je rund 20 Holzbohlen („Nadeln“) vertikal geschlossen. Insgesamt verfügt das Bauwerk über 7000 solcher Bohlen, die mit Kränen herausgezogen werden können, für die auf dem Bauwerk Schienen verlegt sind. Einzelnachweise
Déversoir de Bonnet Carré

Le déversoir de Bonnet Carré est une structure de régulation des eaux créée en réponse à la crue du Mississippi de 1927. Située dans la paroisse de Saint-Charles, à l'ouest de La Nouvelle-Orléans en Louisiane, il est constitué de deux parties : l'une à l'ouest permettant de dévier de l'eau du cours du fleuve Mississippi, et l'autre à l'est permettant l'incorporation de cette eau dans le lac Pontchartrain. Entre les deux se trouve une zone inconstructible destinée à être submergée dans le processus de répartition d'eau. La partie ouest fonctionne sous la forme de seuils à débordement mécaniquement contrôlés. Entre 1937 et 2011, le déversoir de Bonnet Carré a été ouvert une dizaine de fois. L'Interstate 10 traverse le déversoir Bonnet Carré côté est via un pont à tréteaux dont la longueur totale est d'un peu moins de 18 kilomètres, ce qui en fait l'un des ponts les plus longs au monde. Plus au centre du déversoir, c'est la Airline Highway (en) qui le traverse. Le déversoir de Bonnet Carré a servi de lieu de tournage pour le film Les Âmes vagabondes (2013) ou la série télévisée True Detective (saison 1, 2013) par exemple.

Preservation Hall

Preservation Hall is a jazz venue on St Peter Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. The building is associated with a house band, a record label, and a non-profit foundation. Preservation Hall receives roughly 180,000 visitors per year. History In the 1950s, art dealer Larry Borenstein from Milwaukee managed what would become Preservation Hall in the French Quarter as an art gallery, Associated Artists. To attract customers, he invited local jazz musicians to play for tips. After a time, the music started drawing more attention than the art. In May 1961, Borenstein turned management over to Ken Grayson Mills and Barbara Reid, who turned it into a music venue and named it "Preservation Hall". After their honeymoon in 1961, Allan Jaffe and his wife Sandra visited to hear some traditional New Orleans jazz. The Jaffes were from Pennsylvania. Allan Jaffe was a tuba player who had graduated from the Wharton School of Business in Philadelphia, while his wife had been employed at an advertising agency. They attended concerts, grew to love the French Quarter, and stayed longer than they had intended. Borenstein asked if they wanted to manage Preservation Hall, and they agreed, taking over in September 1961. Allan Jaffe hired local musicians whose ages ranged from the 60s to the 90s. Many were struggling with poverty, racism, and illness. At first, the Jaffes served no alcohol, used no amplification, and refused to advertise. In 1963, Allan Jaffe began to tour with bands in the U.S. and in other countries. These tours included such musicians as pianist Sweet Emma Barrett, trumpeter Kid Thomas Valentine, brothers Percy Humphrey and Willie Humphrey, pianist Billie Pierce and her husband, trumpeter De De Pierce. The most popular was clarinetist George Lewis, whose reputation preceded the Hall. Fans from all over the world came to New Orleans to hear traditional jazz. Organization The Preservation Hall Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily dedicated to Preservation Hall's educational initiatives, including but not limited to providing private lessons to youth taught by New Orleans jazz musicians, coordinating group lessons with the Preservation Hall Junior Jazz Band, presenting workshops during Preservation Hall Jazz Band tours, or maintenance of the ever-growing Preservation Hall archives. The Foundation also provides a free online learning resource for music educators and students called the Preservation Hall Foundation Brass Bandbook including the songs "Bourbon Street Parade", "Just a Closer Walk with Thee", "Lil' Liza Jane", "Down by the Riverside", "Didn't He Ramble", "Lord, Lord, Lord", "I'll Fly Away", "Joe Avery's Piece", "Paul Barbarin's Second Line", "Old Rugged Cross", "By and By", and "Do Whatcha Wanna".
