In this rare footage from 1983, Charles Kuralt goes down to the deep south to Cajun country and visits the friendly people on the bayou.




Pretty interesting watch 4+ decades later.

That shout out in the beginning to the Eunice Superette "home owned" by Jerome Moore sent me back. They may have had the best boudin in the world in 1983. (No shade at Johnson's intended)

I actually spent an hour before bed the other night watching several Charles Kuralt CBS news videos where he travels the country and goes to small towns. I think it's this same series. Very cool stuff, some interesting characters and cool stories.

in 1983 the only way to ever hear about these people or these towns would be if CBS news went there, or if you traveled there yourself.

look for the Charles Kuralt episode about the amazing swimming pig.
being the city type, he was duped. Any pig can swim

“You work hard and you play hard, that’s the Cajun way”

I like that way…
