A SHORT HISTORY OF WDSU

The WDSU AM transmitter building in Algiers
The WDSU AM transmitter building housed a 5000 watt RCA transmitter.
the building no longer exists. The transmitter site became the site of
the Oakwood Shopping Center, a developement of Edgar Stern's Royal Street
Corporation. A swimming pool was constucted adjacent to the transmitter
building by a construction company that traded construction of the pool
for the mud excavated to form the pool. The pool never had a drop of water
in it as its location was sold to the state and federal governments to
allow building of the Westbank Expressway directly over the pool site.
