Excellent book! It was such a good read, that I couldn't put it down. There were great stories with lots of interesting facts. Barry's writing style makes the reading informative and interesting. And each story includes amazing photographs that brought me right there to the scene of the action.
đ¸â¨ Just picked up NolaDeejâs *Deserted New Orleans* and it is outstanding!
It is outstanding to learn the history of abandoned New Orleans from a true native who knows every back road and forgotten corner of the city. His passion for the lost and forgotten is evident on every single page â you can feel the respect and wonder in his words and photos as he brings those haunting landmarks back to life.
The images pull you right in, capturing that beautiful Southern decay and the stories time tried to erase. Itâs the kind of book that makes you slow down, linger, and really see the magic in what most folks drive right past.
Highly recommended for your coffee table â itâs one youâll keep coming back to with your morning coffee, flipping through and getting lost in the history all over again. If you love urban exploration, Southern charm, or just damn good storytelling through pictures, this oneâs a must-have. đ¤ đ
Big thanks to NolaDeej for sharing his hometownâs hidden side with the world!

This author does an excellent job at explaining the importance and history behind these now abandoned buildings. The photographs in this book are breathtaking.

Incredible history of New jerseyâs southern beaches towns with great photos!
I purchased this second volume of the Ocean Access series; part one was for the northern beaches (point pleasant, LBI) - this one covers those between Atlantic City and Cape May. While Iâve been to both of these towns, Iâve never made to the other ones featured in this book and WOW - they look amazing. Avalon, Sea isle City, Stone Harbor - The photos in this book make these towns look like postcards. I always wanted to learn about how these shore towns began, and these two Ocean Access books explain it perfectly.
