Anyone old enough to remember Scandals?

I don't remember Scandals but I do remember when Crash Landing was a thing. I wasn't of age during that time.

Pretty sure Scandals in Laffy is still open if that’s the one he’s talking about

No mention of The Ocean Club? From fall '86 to around spring '88 it was "The" X club in Metairie. I tended bar there and it's the closest thing I will ever know to being a rock star as far as having money, sex, and drugs just thrown at you.

Walking out of the club the House of Blues on SIN night and seeing people going to work in the CBD was an experience everyone should have.


SIN Night was a crazy way to start off the week/keep the weekend going.

I dated a bartender from the Goldmine. Her right thump was always blistered up and her finger nail was burnt from the flaming Dr. Peppers. Then BIC came out with the long lighters and it was a game changer.

Right. You were either there or you weren’t. If you weren’t, I can’t even begin to explain it to you but you missed out.

You were obviously there too. Wild times to be alive!!

That drive back to BR though. If that Basin could talk, I’d be under the jail.

Sitting Duck, home of the dollar shots. As a broke college kid a ten dollar bill was all you needed to go to the moon and back.

I had never been at night to this place. While in college in NOLA we would go here after our class finished at 1pm on Tuesday. Plenty of MILF’s in bikinis tanning on the back deck. Would grab a bite to eat and have a couple drinks then it would be back to school for a lab class at 6pm.
