I used to load sheetrock in Westwego. There was a little diner across the street. The jukebox had a song called Pretty Little Girl From Westwego.

@@LouisianaDread yeah, but I can't find the song anywhere. Closest is some Irish ballad about a girl from Omagh. This was local zydeco . 25 years ago.

I was a kid in Old Jefferson when the grain elevator exploded. Our windows in the kitchen rattled.

Could you do a little history of arpent canals . We've always assumed when and why seems you may have real answers.

@LouisianaDread 6 ай бұрын

An arpent is just a French unit of measurement.

@@LouisianaDread Just need to look sometime, I was racing back to Houston. Coming up-to Baton Rouge, 8:30am. I look out my driver's window. To see a beautiful young woman in a Knitted dress, next to me. Not a,7,8,9, 10, but a 12, in looks. It was the early, 90's. Because I learn too always be on top of the bridge going west by 7:30am.
