    These pictures look so sad and desolate…

    Thanks for that comment, and yes, it is a desolate part of town. There are some areas of the Lower 9 that have recovered, but most of it remains abandoned and overrun with plant life. This pump station is not abandoned, though. It is still functioning — and it’s over 100 years old.
