The nature trail behind Southfield.

Looking for the Rat Pack in the ditches.

Strawn's before that entire side room was there, before the Gauthier's bought it.

That vegetarian place next to Byrd. I'm not all that into it now, but had memories of good smoothies and a sandwich called the Special sandwich.

Getting in fights in the dirt pile off of right field at Captain's games when I was a kid.

Getting liquor and daquiris from Carl (think that was his name) who worked at the Cajun Daquiris on E. 70th.

Good times.

Earthereal is the place next to Byrd you're thinking of and Carl Wray's on E 70th got busted for selling to minors I think.

-Desserts at Julie Anne's Bakery

-Eggnog daiquiris from Tony's

Carl Ray lololol how could I ever forget the original big freeda at Cajun daquiris. How about Amigo at Chevron on e.70th before Jimmie Davis bridge. Had about 100 cars of teenagers waiting to go in to get beer. Dude must have made a killing. Can't believe he never got busted that I know of.

The early days of the Independence Bowl (before there were 50 bowl games) were fun.
'95 and '97 with LSU were great.

The Feist brothers used to come on to play. They owned those cotton fields south of Eastgate and north of Lsus.

They were famous for not spending money. Mr. Carroll's Mr. Coffee pot once quit working and he brought it to his farm manager to see if he could fix it instead of just buying another one.

Those ski tournaments at Champion Lake were top notch.

Does anyone remember when they had the two mynah birds in the cage at that location? That was before my time.
