What was the name of the Hotel on Airline where Home Depot is today. The Village was across the street close to where Academy is today.

I don't remember that one. That little strip between Greenwell Springs and Florida always had some interesting hotels and motels though.

When we played in the baseball semi's in 1980, we stayed at some place on Airline. Always wish I could remember which one it was. Had a foot of rain, we were supposed to play in Alex Box but ended up getting moved to some other field.

The Oak Manor. Another of the AC Lewis properties.

Along with the Bellemont Hotel, the Continental (down on Airline heading west towards the old bridge almost to Plank Rd), and numerous apartment building. Hollywood used his house during the filming of "The Toy" with Richard Pryor.
