{"title":"Catherine Campanella","description":"An LSU graduate with a BA in fine arts, Cathy chose a career in teaching (MEd, University of New Orleans), where she became a technology coordinator and early proponent of the educational value of the Internet. New Orleans History: Lake Pontchartrain (www.pontchartrain.net) was her first attempt to compile a cultural overview as a pictorial history of the lake. Lake Pontchartrain (Arcadia Publishing, 2007) culminated this endeavor in a print edition. Now a retired educator, Cathy's interest in writing and research has grown to include the books Metairie (2008), New Orleans City Park (2011), Legendary Locals of Metairie (2013) and Images of Modern America: Lake Pontchartrain (2015), all released by Arcadia Publishing, as well as her more recent Lost Metairie (2017), published by The History Press. Campanella has written for Scholastic Instructor, Read-Write-Think and Every Day with Rachel Ray magazines. Married to Mike Azzarello, the mother of two and grandmother of two adorable grandchildren, Cathy hopes this book will inform, educate and rekindle wonderful memories of life around Lake Pontchartrain.","products":[{"product_id":"lost-lake-pontchartrain-resorts-attractions-paperback","title":"Lost Lake Pontchartrain Resorts \u0026 Attractions - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003ePleasure seekers have visited Lake Pontchartrain destinations for more than two centuries.

And many of those landmarks are lost to time. The lake, railroads and a beach resort were popular features in the early days. A streetcar ran through the short-lived City of Metairie Ridge, where gambling houses and dog tracks contributed more tax dollars than did the few residents. Old Bucktown was famous for its seafood. Fat City, once notorious for its nightlife, has seen better days. Author Catherine Campanella takes a look back at the schools, shops, bars, restaurants, alligator farms, bowling alleys, drive-ins and movie theaters from a bygone era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377951899871,"sku":"9781540225603","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Bzub5ul0H9781540225603.webp?v=1789243664"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/catherine-campanella.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
