OFF TOPIC - Hey Olwyn Mary - NOLA question

I just finished a book set in NOLA and it described a game of beach volley
ball on the shores lake Pontchartrain.


Yes, possible or no way.....

Yes indeed They have (had) a beach volleyball sand court on the south
shore. Sadly, it is now being taken over by the Corps of Engineers to
build some more hurricane protection, a form of floodgate I believe. Of
course, the volleyball players are muttering about "build it somewhere
else", but that really is the best spot.

OK - it just seemed "wrong", but then again, I think there were other things
that didn't ring true,

Such as what? Or would it be easier for me to read the book and tell you?

First - this was one of those books that was so bad that I had to keep
reading just to find out what odd jump would happen next. Characters, minor
ones, changed hair color on the same page..

It was feeling that she had never been to NOLA, but had seen it in
movies...or lifted the descriptions from someone else's book....
