Shakey's Pizza was just south of Coleman Oldsmobile. They used to have live music, something like a banjo and piano player. Kids could watch them make pizza through the window on the left when you walked in.

Holy S. I may have known your Mom. Probably not. I worked there from '82 to '84. Does your Mom's name begin with an A?

Thanks for getting back to me. It was a cool place to work. Pretty much everybody that lived in Tigerland stopped in.

Airport on Independence Blvd.



That explains why the big new library on that site looks a little like a big hangar.

That's it. We used to eat there a lot since it was pretty close to my grandma's house and both of my uncles in Baton Rouge. Plus, back then, it was only 25-30 minutes from my parents' house. Today, it's more like 40-45 minutes.

Hell yeah... the dirt mall. My mom used to take me there when I was a kid to buy baseball cards. They had a few different booths in there that sold cards.
