The Palace on Desiard. Worked there while attending NLU.
Was that a bar or a store?
I worked at Kraus & Cahn Menswear at Eastgate for a couple of years when I was there. Sold a lot of Jaymar Sansabelt slacks and Countess Mara ties there. Sold six suits to a preacher one day. Learned a lot from the owner in my short time there. He was 73 years old when they closed. He started working at Selber Bros. after that.
Wasn't there a Ralph & Kacoos on the way to the airport back in the 89's? Cheap lunch could be had at whatever it was.

Mad Sally's. My freshman year we had the last panty raid before they banned them. Night after girls came to Olin for a jock raid. Some fool threw a bucket of ice off 10 or 11 and liked to have messed a girl up. I was also there the night the Shah was going to give a speech and they shouted him off the stage. Cops were chasing guys all thru campus. Arrested 8 I think and held them. For a few days the story was we were going to trade them for our hostages in Iran. They let em go eventually. Carter was inept.

The Palace was a fairly high end department store, circa 1940-60's. Everything from underwear to high quality handmade draperies. I made cornices for drapes and sold men's clothing. That was from 67-68, then 68/69 to 1970 as I recall selling shoes at JC Penney. To this day (age 70) that was the most fun I ever had in a job...learned all of my skills with the ladies in this job!!
I can't even remember if there was an Eastgate then. I remember Gibson's (large discount). No Ralph & Cacoos either. I also worked at Columbian Carbon Laboratory on 18th street. One of only a few electron microscopes in the state at that time.
Left Monroe immediately after graduation to work in Houston, then came back for a short stint working as a mgr. trainee at JC Penney. That was my last job in retail...onto bigger and better things in Petro industry.
Great times were had by our group in Monroe. Hunting, fishing, partying, girls, etc.!!! Never got into sports as I was a gungho 100% LSU fan from SoLA.
