[@tgif3657]

My wife is from here and I moved to the Bayou when I was a teen. We love the area.

[@throughmykitchenwindow198]

Love it.. Thanks for sharing. I am a direct descendant of Joseph Bouzage and Catherine Baudreau (my 6th g grandparents ).. and a Mississippi Gulf coast resident. I have spent a lot of time on Dauphin Island but not so much in Bayou la Batre. . as a matter of fact, we are heading over next month for a long family weekend on the island.

[@tgif3657]

We love this part of the country, there are a lot of Bouzarge's and Bosarge's in this area. Hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!

My home town ❤ ty for this video! It was enjoyable and captured our little town very nicely 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

"Hi" from Irvington, Alabama. My grandparents are in that graveyard. The Sydney's has the best C.O.B. (chicken sandwich). The Greers has actually grown in size about 6 times. The old Mexican restaurant actually used to be a Hardees. The "Black Pearl" from Pirate of the Caribbean was built in Bayou La Batre. Not sure what brings you to Bayou La Batre, but message me if you got any questions!

[@tgif3657]

When I was a teenager I lived in the Bayou and moved away for many years. We recently acquired a house in the Bayou, and our plan is to remodel it and use it as our home base.

I love this boat town! AI this is were I grows up at end tell middle school .

[@oursweethomelife]

The company I worked for, Steward Machine Co., supplied the machinery as well as some of the super structure for this bridge. I had a picture but I was unable to post it. I enjoyed watching your video.

[@tgif3657]

That's cool! Would love to see the picture. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@gaylehudson7267]

You were one 19, which connected to 188 at the intersection just south of the cometary.

[@williamwaits]

Neat little town. Never been there, gulf shores and orange all the time.

[@tgif3657]

It is a neat little town, mostly a fishing village with small shipyards. If you ever head down that way, check out Dauphin Island and Bayou La Batre. Thank you watching and commenting.

Is the square-rigged sailboat the one that has the ashes of the original owner/builder imbedded in the chine?

[@lucasdogsey]

Home sweet home, i love it here, not really to much violencce, and not many people.

[@patedge5599]

That’s a great video brother, you did a fantastic job, @ 14:54 Just on the east side of that bridge back in the day on the right was Landry boat works and they built the most beautiful wooden boats, west of DESCO Marine, in Saint Augustine, Florida..

[@tgif3657]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for additional history!

Where was the headquarters of the Unification Church of Sun Yung Moon ( The Moonies ) ?

[@tgif3657]

@@guynoir4733 I pass their ship yard office at around 8:18 mark in the video. I am not sure where the Church was. I will have to check that out.

[@patedge5599]

At 9:43 you said it may be the city docks, No sir that is the state docks right at the mouth of Bayou la Batre, Back in the day, I was on the hill from a long trip in the Gulf, @ 11:24 Me and Mama were fishing- (mama loved to fish) -at the State Docks and she lost a 4’ redfish at the beach/bank 😢😢 she cried 😢😢

[@tgif3657]

Thanks for sharing your memories and correcting me on the State Docks.

[@dirdee_hippie]

No, it's not. I live here and it's not nasty. It's actually quite beautiful.

Love the video but may I suggest you please not chew gum while filming??

[@tgif3657]

[@patedge5599]

It’s funny you mention the Catalina restaurant mama work there when I was working on shrimp boats and they had the best fried blue crab claws you have ever lapped a lip over they would absolutely make your tongue slap your brains out 😂😂😂

[@tgif3657]

They also have great steaks!

[@patedge5599]

When I worked on shrimp boats back in the late 70s early 80s, we would buy groceries for our trips at Greers and Greers will deliver them down to our boat. We would buy $300 to $400 dollars of groceries back then, I couldn’t imagine what it would be under FJB Bidens economy.😢😢

[@tgif3657]

I think Greers still delivers, I know they pull the orders. I bet those same groceries would cost over $1200
