Our Mission?

_______________________________________________________________________________

We know some people can’t come back because they may be settled in another community. This site may at least keep them in the know. We have no local cable TV television service to keep us updated on local events. We would really appreciate it if everyone could spread the word and tell people they know that may find this site of some use. Remember there is a section on the forum for people to track down friends that have not come back.


We are working on it every day trying to add and update pages.

Please keep checking back often. Also, this is a big parish and we are not purposefully neglecting any area. It is just taking longer than we thought to go around passing out flyers.


We hope this will be The site for our community to interact with each other and the world at large. From this site you will be able to advertise and promote your local business, find employment, shop in the marketplace section and chat in the forums. Community events like fishing tournaments in Venice will be posted and updated with information.


The government drew an imaginary line in the sand separating Plaquemines Parish into two pieces. Federal, State and Local Governments have basically left us to fend for ourselves. We want this website to show everyone out there that we still live, work and play here. We still have much to offer as a community. Though a lot of things have changed, this is still home. I know South Plaquemines isn’t a separate Parish but it is starting to feel that way.


We will need your help getting information that you think should be on this site. If there is anything you think we need here and you don’t see it, give us a call or use the link at the bottom of the page to e-mail us with your suggestions. Remember...this site is for all of us and we will need your help.


If you have problems with pages loading incorrectly PLEASE email me and tell me what is wrong and what operating system you are using.


Use the navigation bar at the left of the page to get around the site.


Thanks for visiting.

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I posted. Our Sheriff seems to have gotten himself in a little trouble. I’ll just leave it at that.


The new school in Sunrise is about half built and looks like it may be a nice place when it is done. (Photo Below)













The teacher’s apartments where BHS used to be are coming along nicely. They look like condos or something. I may go back to college and be a teacher so we can live in one. (not really) They do really look good though. (Photo below)















I heard the YMCA has a preschool program. Other than that I don’t know much, other than one of our kid’s Pre-K teacher is involved and she is a good teacher so it may be a good program. (Photo Below)













The Dollar Store in Venice is coming along nicely and should be open pretty soon.


The election was Yesterday and resulted in a run-off with Bubrig and Grecko going head to head in November for sheriff.
