100% an old Morgan City picture. Between the shrimp and the oil, a whole lot of money passed thru that town.


Don’t forget about the cypress sawmill.

Wasn’t that in Donner?

Also in Gibson, you had large shipbuilding manufacturing areas. Now most of that area is a ghost town. Up until the 1990’s, I think Avondale had a shipyard in Gibson.


There is also a 3 hole golf course out there.

That’s in Patterson, but yeah, part of the Tri City area
