This entire little peninsula was part of the quaint little fishing village of Bucktown.
Sid Mar's Restaurant was known for its wonderful seafood and family atmosphere and was always jammed with people waiting for shrimp, crabs, fried fish or crayfish, especially on a Friday night when the restaurants of Bucktown and West End boomed.
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers is misappropriating all of this property at post Katrina value and Bucktown as we know it will no longer exist.
