re: St. Rose Tavern Departing After 90 Years...

Hijack: My first real job was at an IMTT tank farm in Avondale. Summer after my senior year in high school, I had to be in Avondale every morning at 5:45 to clock in and worked til 3 cleaning tanks, cutting grass, insulating pipelines, and all other awesome tasks in the oppressive summer heat.

There used to be an awesome po boy market near Avondale shipyards that sold a 12 inch roast beef, tall boy, and pack of cigarettes for like 8 bucks. That was the best part of that job.
