GOLDEN MEADOW - Down the Bayou history and culture

[@russellverdin8339]

I'm from cut off on the west side of the Bayou on West 57th Street. I would like to personally thank you so very much for sharing our heritage of Bayou Lafourche. Your knowledge of the area is outstanding.

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you my friend! It’s so important for everyone to know our culture and history!

[@c.w.johnsonjr6374]

Thanks for the warning about the speed trap.

[@LouisianaDread]

Getting a ticket is almost a right of passage lol

[@alesiaking1554]

Thank you for creating this. I have fond memories of sitting on my grandmother’s porch on the bayou in Golden Meadow. Live in north Louisiana but can still smell the bayou and recall the sights and sounds of tugs, barges, trollers on that bayou.

[@LouisianaDread]

No place like the bayou, but I'll be in North Louisiana very soon to tell the history up there. I love all parts of this great state and there is so much to tell!

[@marymarney3843]

You should be a Louisiana history teacher. You are very informative.

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you so much! I just enjoy knowing some people enjoy the info!

[@gertgallier8920]

Wonderful and informative! My grandmother taught at the Settlement School.

[@LouisianaDread]

Amazing! Thank you for enjoying and appreciating!

I visited Golden Meadow twice in 2009. Great seafood, and didn't catch any blue lights behind me.

[@LouisianaDread]

Count yourself lucky then!

[@reginatheriot7717]

Love watching Kyle's videos

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you so much for those kind words!

[@cosmiclibrarian8950]

I absolutely love this channel! I live east of you on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the stories of all things Louisiana are fascinating and informative. Keep up the great work, Kyle!

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you friend! I’m looking forward to going tell stories in Mississippi.

[@nette49]

50 miles an hour only if you are on the 3235 4 lane!!! If you are driving along the bayou, you had better not go over 30!

[@LouisianaDread]

Yes definitely! Sorry for the miscommunication!

[@grayman556]

Fact

[@deagonfrost7786]

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you! Much more coming soon!

[@LaYakFishing]

Amazing history of the area, I learned so much in 4 minutes. Been meaning to get down to Golden Meadow to fish Catfish lake, good to know to not exceed 50 mph.

[@LouisianaDread]

I appreciate the compliment my friend. Definitely a strict speed limit but the better views are on the front road anyway.

[@treycheramie9969]

Hey I’m in that boat yea 😂

[@LouisianaDread]

Hell yea!🤘🏼

[@brendahennesseereger8609]

My husband, his sister and I visited Grand Isle every year for a few months to visit their sister and her family. We were warned not to speed in Golden Meadows. Lol. I was telling my husband about your history lesson when you mentioned the speed trap, I mean speed limit…

[@LouisianaDread]

Haha it’s a right of passage at this point

[@lisadparker]

Golden Meadow was the only spot between Mathews and Grand Isle that my grandmother DIDN'T put the pedal to the metal!

[@LouisianaDread]

😂😂 for good reason too! As far as I know, they’ve been this way since the 50s when it was only LA1

[@papazotch007]

When he holds back a smirk after mentioning da point

[@LouisianaDread]

Haha that’s my people. I love the pointe!

[@rich3203]

I am a Minister and on Christmas Day I was asked to transport two Filipino Sailors to buy some personal items as their boat had been delayed in dry dock and they had run out. Going thru Golden Meadows I was pulled over for going 7 MPH over the speed limit and given like a $200.00 ticket. I wanted to contest it in court but it is the Mayor who runs traffic court. I tried to get their evidentiary procedures or rules of evidence and nobody would ever reply. Finally the Police Chief told me to send him $100.00 and he would dismiss the ticket. As It was cheaper then driving all the way back there I sent him the money and never heard another thing.

[@LouisianaDread]

Sounds like it’s not just the trawl boats that smell fishy over there.

[@mattbarker4401]

Infamous speed trap.

[@LouisianaDread]

Absolutely notorious!

[@ryanbruce70]

That’s was use in the boat me in the surface drive Cody with the long tail

[@cea90]

Was the butterweed coined pis-en-lit because it resembled the dandelion, or people in golden meadow really pissing the bed after eating it?

[@LouisianaDread]

😂 definitely the former, but it’s apparently a vulgar term in France.

[@cea90]

@@LouisianaDread Got it! Don't eat the flowers in Golden Meadow and definitely dont share a bed with any of them mfers 🤣

[@LouisianaDread]

@@cea90 Damn who hurt you from Golden Meadow?

[@nativeangel3094]

My daddy went to that Indian school.

[@LouisianaDread]

History isn’t as far back as most people think and generational trauma is a thing for bayou people.

[@leonterrebonne7007]

in golden meadow incorporated its 30 mph. dont you dare go 31. born and raised on the bayou

[@LouisianaDread]

We took the backroad to get there and filmed on the front road.

[@leonterrebonne7007]

ya i just think we’re more notorious for that 30 mph speed limit but you are correct as well

[@stuartcomeaux9497]

Didn’t go over 50 mph. LOL as a truck driver going through there for 30 years, I know exactly what you mean.

[@LouisianaDread]

😂 that place doesn’t play around

[@jessicae.s.340]

Half the oil workers from Mississippi have gotten tickets in the hole🥸

[@LouisianaDread]

Don’t go 51mph lol

[@grayman556]

😂 at the speed limit comment.

[@LouisianaDread]

It’s so true haha

[@chrislee3414]

[@LouisianaDread]

You damn right😂

[@jamestregler1584]

You better not go over 50 ! 🤣

[@LouisianaDread]

They’ll throw me under the jail

[@bryangendron4020]

This whole town is a SPEED TRAP. All you smell is Beacon

[@LouisianaDread]

Bacon and boudin

[@labratamber]

The worst speed trap in the state

[@LouisianaDread]

I can agree to this

[@coreyverrett8117]

The cops in Golden Meadow act like the cops on Grand Theft Auto 5. Don't go over 50 MPH not Don't even go 51

[@LouisianaDread]

😂😂😂😂 yes they don’t play around!

[@terryderush2657]

Bullshit. Don't go over the speed limit period. They don't play around. 😊. I have heard that you will pay the tickets 🎟 😏 before you leave town.

[@LouisianaDread]

I said don’t go over the speed limit bruh I don’t know what you’re talking about lol
