Bluebonnet was kind of the sticks at the time. Now we have rappers getting shot right down the street though.


Yep.

I remember when there wasn’t much on Bluebonnet besides Swaggart’s church and a few other buildings. On Saturday nights my family used to go out to eat. One night my parents wanted to try this “new place” near Swaggart’s complex called they’d heard about from their friends called…Subway.

I remember when they were building Bluebonnet. They had it closed off on both ends with barricades. Some people used to move the barricades and drive out there at night to party.

IIRC, before Swaggart bought the land, I think EWE used to own it. There was at one time, a big sign where Perkins Rowe is, saying "Future Home of Schwegmann's". Of course, that never materialized.
