Gordon Iro Confirms Stay with Central Coast FC

The small town of Slidell, Louisiana, which has retained its charm since Hurricane Katrina, is set to benefit from the reopening of the Amtrak route known as The Mardi Gras Express, connecting New Orleans to Mobile, Alabama. This revival comes as the community reflects on the lasting impacts of the hurricane, which devastated many towns along the Gulf Coast. While Slidell is experiencing a culinary renaissance thanks to chefs displaced from New Orleans, other areas continue to struggle with limited access to rail services. The new train service will enhance connectivity for fishing villages and beach towns, reviving tourism and local economies. The anticipated route aims to celebrate the cultural heritage of the region, tying back to its French history and Mardi Gras festivities. As the area prepares for this change, the local sentiment is one of hope and resilience, celebrating both past hardships and future opportunities.
