re: What was Baton Rouge like in the 1970s?

Tabby’s had those ice cold fish bowl goblets for 50 cents on Wed.

That was Chris’ Bar on North Street with fishbowls. Had good lunches and lingerie shows.

Had a package liquor window on the side because blacks were not allowed inside.

Tabby’s had a couple of ice chests with Budweiser in the can and that was about it.

Mike Anderson’s was in a small old grocery store where you say and the old lady that owned it lived on the top floor. We used to buy those oyster loafs and man they were good.

I remember watching The Jeff Pollard Band at The Kingfish and they later changed name to Louisiana’s Leroux.

Saw Three Dog Night at Independence Hall circa 1972. The Quonset Hut building next to I believe it was The White House Inn-both of which were on the site of the current Claiborne Building. Across the street where the First Circuit Court of Appeals building is was the former-original Our Lady of the Lake Hospital where I was born.
