Highway One | Lost Louisiana (1994)

[@markfletcher8084]

I traveled HWY 1 from the Arkansas state line to Armestead LA for work, prior to I-49. I enjoyed the little stops for gas or a cold drink.

Sad to watch. I grew up in the quaint town of Boyce in the mid 60s and now its gone. All I have left is my memories.

[@LPBTV]

sorry to hear! thank you for sharing!

[@keyunagaines206]

I grew up in Boyce and it with thru a 5 decade of partying and gambling and over populated... Boyce was known for being a very busy and fun little town we're also way smaller than the other near by towns so we played different because everybody was athletic even the chubby ones 😆 🤣 😂 the natural of the town was zydeco with lilttle everything else as long as its something physical 😆...

[@SupaLaya]

Boyce not gone!

[@Shanghaimagic]

I grew up in LA close to LA 1..miss the old days and the good people of Louisiana.

[@neiljohnson6815]

[@MDM0915]

Spent my childhood on Highway 1 almost every weekend between 1962 and 1977. Traveling from Shreveport to my grandparents in Bellwood which is a few miles south of Provençal which is a few miles south of Nachitoches.

[@elizabethbeyer466]

My first trip to natchitoches was in 1977 no n/s l-49. I had to find that town . Me and my motorcycle found it. I graduated in 1979. Never used l-49. But it was money well spent on Louisiana infrastructure

[@billybest5497]

This was for watchmaking school

[@TEXASLOYAL]

I grew up in Natchitoches parish, live in Houston now, I go back every few years to visit old friends and relatives, oh, I graduated in 79 also

[@CAJUNBEE]

I w a s born in Creole hurricanes have almost erased it! Raised in Cameron Louisiana it's lost most of its residents also! One hurricane killed 2 of my brothers.

[@ellap4235]

Oh goodness I'm so sorry. That's awful.

[@robertpamplin6872]

I was raised up in Louisiana and yes I miss the good folk

[@Giles29]

Reminds me a bit of Route66 back in Missouri

[@devares2006]

I didn't know that highway 1 was a dead end road.

[@StandWatie1862]

Nothing more welcoming to outsiders than a speed trap.

[@JBBrickman]

Well just don’t speed lol

[@johnnybizzle2748]

1994. A simpler time.

[@imsteppinforosama3laden863]

This is sad

[@LPBTV]
