From time to time I’ll be tossing in a throwback video from some of my favorites. These will be freshened up and possibly added to as well. Hope you enjoyed this one, thanks for watching! ❤️

I don’t know if you can find it in your heart, but I was so excited when this first popped up, thinking that you might talk about every Schwegmann locations even the ones out here in Metairie. I’m 46 years old and I grew up right down the street from Dorignacs and I’m trying to remember where all the other Schwegmanns were and I’m drawing a blank. Again, thank you so much for doing your New Orleans-based videos. They’re so nostalgic and amazing. I wish you could do more about Metairie!!!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Don’t worry, I’ll have a more in depth video about Schwegmann’s in the near future

The only ones I aways remember are the Judge Perez store that my grandparents used to go to, and what's now the Rouses on David/Power which still looks the same on the outside

Thank you! I want to say there was one on Airline. I remeber my dad walking around with me in the front child seat of the buggy, grocery shopping while he drank beer and smoked cigs🤣🤣🤣Ahhhhhh, the good ol' days
