Kinda the middle of “Freaking NoWhere” LA, west of NO proper.

3217 is a spur road that connects Airline highway to the River Rd.

LOTS of (potential) intrigue here.

I could find that shuttle parking lot, but the property next door was a pipe storage facility.

Refineries are normally located on or very near the Mississippi River. Could not find this Valero Plant.

It sounded like they evacuated the refinery.
