Pretty sure St Bernard Parish had its boundaries changed in Arabi to take in parts of New Orleans at the time, which took in businesses at the time outlawed in New Orleans, such as slaughterhouses and casinos in the early 1900s

Kuwait Nickname

I grew up in Plaquemines Parish and my family, until Katrina, lived there (and will) for generations. I edited the reference to the parish being called 'Kuwait' due to the fact that no one has ever heard of such a nickname! Will continue monitor...

Martial law?

This article states that martial law was imposed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina; the pages on the damage to New Orleans claim that the term "martial law" is not in Louisiana's legislation and what was declared was therefore a state of emergency. A contradiction. Which is correct? --66.102.74.160 01:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Is it /ˈplɑːkəmɪnz/ or /ˈplækəmɪnz/ ? I am hearing /ˈplækəmɪnz/.

Only parish with unchanged boundaries

Pretty sure St Bernard Parish had its boundaries changed in Arabi to take in parts of New Orleans at the time, which took in businesses at the time outlawed in New Orleans, such as slaughterhouses and casinos in the early 1900s
