re: Shooting right outside St Tammany Parish Fair last night

outside the convenience store right there across from the fairgrounds gates

Schultz’s. At least it was when I was a kid there in the 1970’s. Little League practice across the street and then hit Schultz’s for a treat. We used to really like the fair. Covington High got a day off for the fair; the pricvate schools didn’t. They used to have those really seedy side shows and freaks shows. I remember one where a woman changed into a gorilla and busted out of its cage as the host screamed at everyone to get out while he fired a gun with blanks at the gorilla. Total mayhem.

The neighborhood around there was always the hood but not in a violent, threatening way.
