The "card shop" was the best spot ever made run by a bunch of carneys.
You talking about the one that was next to Fat Daddy’s by the tracks? If so, me and my friends used to spend so much time in there that the owner would let us run the shop on some weekends when he went do card shows. Paid us with packs of cards.
Growing up in Plaquemine 1980’s and 90’s was a lot of fun. A lot of memories made. Haven’t been back since my Mom’s funeral in 2016.
We saw the whole town on our bikes. Went fishing under the overpass by the locks.
Rode our bikes down the Cub Scouts track.
Played baseball and basketball at the park by the National Guard.
Played tackle football in the big open field by St John.
Everyone played spring/summer baseball for IPRD.
Butcher Boy was the grocery store to go to when it was in the middle of the neighborhood by the old school.
Acadian Festival was a lot of fun when it was by the old Sonic. We picked pecans to make “Acadian festival” money.
I could go on, but I really do cherish those days man. Now I live in Kenner not far from the Airport and it seems like everything is one big arse rush.

Thanks for all the info. Looks like Plaquemine is off the table for sure!

I was also an 80’s/90’s kid in Plaquemine 
“ Riding the avenue” was the only thing for us teenagers to do. And when you turned 18 there was Shannon’s. Both are gone now. There was City Cafe that’s now Beer Belly’s. It does still serve food. Fried bologna sandwich is pretty damn good.
My whole neighborhood took a bus to school in Baton Rouge.

Simco's! I used to go just about every Saturday and get a shrimp po-boy or Sharon's Special from Fat Daddy's then hit up Simco's getting the newest Beckett and a few packs of cards. Good times.
