So sad that they shut down a couple years ago. Now I can't get their brownies as a mix in at Cade's

Really miss this place. I remember getting their shrimp balls and jambalaya as a kid. Nothing was cooler than that giant autographed Shaq shoe and the "Shazaam!" poster.

I remember going there a lot in Middle School. As a nerd, it was the coolest place to be on a Friday night

That's most likely The Jambalaya Festival when they used to have it in the road.

Back when Miss Earline ran it, before the corporate takeover?

Rumor always had it that she had shot her husband, an old guy named Red.

Penny's Baseball Cards. I used to buy football and basketball cards there before they got popular. I could have bought all of the 1986 Fleer basketball (Jordan rookie)for $0.50 a pack for years - but I didn't buy much.

Any mention of the upstairs Italian restaurant across from the EA Stadium? Giuseppi's?

What about my STA OGs? If I say "Pookies" does anybody know where/what I'm talking about?

Thats gonzales primary in background.

Also, Barrons hasnt been mentioned. Aunt Sues had killer meat pies. Custom tint. Gonzales park on burnside. The 7 11 on burnside. TG& Y on 30. Dutches Cleaners. Gonzales swimming pool. The health club. Fastrack later turned into the porthole. That little shop on the corner acroos where american market seafood is now. Turned into the corner pocket drug bar before being torn down.

My first job at 15 was lamendolas. Blair was the biggest dick to work for. I eventually ended up taking care of him at my hospital. Lol
