Definitely this is a huge turning point for the city of Lake Charles & change is tough sometimes especially when it’s unpleasant circumstances. The city will be better than before for sure. I wish both sides of town can upgrade / improve like south LC. 🙏🏻
Hurts to see this.. 2020 was such a painful year due to the pandemic but In lake Charles it was more devastation with back to back hurricanes. I grow up in LC. Such a wonderful city family friendly atmosphere. Life was so simple back in the day. I have so many memories hanging out at the civic center preparing for Mardi Gras parades, New Year Eve celebrations, outdoor concerts on the hill which was near capital one. Bitter sweet & so many memories 🤍🕊️✨
Gonna miss lookin at that beautiful building as I pass thru LC. I always liked looking over that way. I was hoping they could have salvaged it, but after all these years I knew it would probably be destroyed 1 day. I was there 2 weeks ago-gonna be weird not seeing it next month.
Bittersweet. It was the defining feature of Lake Charles's skyline, but it became a very visible and lasting reminder of Hurricane Laura's onslaught of death and destruction
