What a wasteland! I lived in a townhouse in village square as a kid from like 76 to 83 or so.

There was a time when it was a place for young people, families, working people.

Chalmette looks like a scene in a zombie movie.

Isnt this the location of the discovery tv series "the colony"?

@dedes016 Yes it is. My husband and I took a trip down to Chalmette this past Labor Day. There is nothing left there now but overgrown bushes and weeds. It looks like a jungle over there. The houses used in The Colony are all gone now...nothing but vacant land there.

Yes, the building at the very begin of this video is the same building behind the building were the colonist stayed.

Look at Youtube video: watch?v=yhF4IBnJUas
