He may have I just assummed it was in Baton Rouge b/c he did live in BR a few yrs before he died.

We used to play pickup with him at the metairie YMCA (this was long after he retired). I know he lived in metairie then. Not really sure about when he played for the Jazz. Wouldnt make sense really to live in BR.

I think that you are right--my understanding is that he lived in St. Tammany Parish during his final years. The original poster may be part-correct in that, as I recall, his father had a house in Baton Rouge that Pete stayed at a lot while Coach Press Maravich was battling cancer.

He lived in Covington. I saw him in Walmart buying a basketball goal for his son right after he retired.

Pete moved to Covington after he retired but he had a house in Metairie while he played for the Jazz. IIRC, he lived not far from Severn and the Lake.

He would have to be a real dick to get a ticket from me. I pulled over Archie Manning one time and he was super nice. Told him to Geaux Tigers and to have a nice day. He tried to give me a autograph and I told him, "No thanks."

A bit off the topic of OP's original thread, but when Pete played for the Jazz, his older brother, Ronnie, was a co-mgr of the Tony Moran second story restaurant on the river downtown. As my frat brother was a bartender there, we used to enjoy free drinks late in the evenings & Ronnie used to join us as the restaurant was emptying. Ronnie openly bragged bout living off Pete all those yrs, that & booking big time. This was at a time in Pete's career when he had a lot of off the court issues, and many many nites Pete would come in after a game, grab a bottle of Jack Daniels,sit at the end of the bar & knock down glass after glass after glass, all by himself. Next nite he would go out & ring up 30+ points.

thought he owned/leased a house on Avaron in Metry at one time while he was with the Jizz

He lived right by St. Paul's in Covington on Jahnke St.
He wrote of his depression while playing with the Jazz. He said he'd get on the Causeway after a game and go 120-150 in his Porsche -- the idea being that he didn't care if he got in an accident and died.
I believe his ex-wife Jackie sold the house a few years ago after the two boys finished LSU.
