Rita’s Creole Kitchen Storefront at Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans
Taken December 2009
Rita's Creole Kitchen was one of the food concessions built along the Jazzland-era midway that became Six Flags New Orleans in 2003. The park sits on former wetlands in eastern New Orleans, near Interstate 10 and the Industrial Canal. Hurricane Katrina's storm surge flooded the property with several feet of saltwater in August 2005, and the site never reopened. Six Flags terminated its lease with the land's owner in 2009, leaving the wooden storefronts and painted signage to weather in place for years afterward.
