I would imagine where Mckinley middle and high school are located. I assume McKinley middle was the old high school. Mckinley was the black school in town during segregation.
Please correct if wrong.

Oh the good ole' 70805. Grew up on Evangeline between Plank and Foster. Dad bought the house in '82 and sold in '97 for less than he bought it for. We watched it go downhill quickly.

according to my dad who was around North BR was still pretty shitty back then too, it was just poor white people instead of poor black people like it is now

70805 representing!!!
Beechwood Drive by Greenwell street near the old YMCA off Hollywood (that big old field there).
Could easily walk to Claiborne Elementary
And my grandparents originally owned the house I grew up in. It was an all white neighborhood when my mom was a kid there.(50s-60s)

I grew up off Longfellow and Hollywood.
My first matchbox cars were a real car in a box that I got from Little folks in delmont village.
I remember the YMCA with the huge pool off Hollywood.
When I-110 was built I remember drunks driving off the end of it going into the bayou by Monticello Park.
Airline at Plank was developing fairly well they had a burger chef, Howard Bros, mcclouds appliances, Kroger, and Wolco. Delmont Village had little folks toy store, JC Penny, Woolworth, grocery store, and Tony's was a fruit stand.

This is what my dad mentioned as well. I know my parents bought their first house on Wild Valley Rd in the early 70's. Then in 1980 they built the house in Monticello and we moved from Monticello in 1987. My parents owned a daycare off Greenwell Springs called Edu-Care in the late 70's - 1988. They had to sell bc once they had the big layoff at the Ethel plant, everyone started moving away and we quickly went from 60+ kids to barely 20 or so. I know the late 80's was when that area started to really change and hasnt recovered since.

SBR existed. It was LSU, Southdowns, Lee High north to Florida Blvd. and East to Goodwood.

Where did the African American community live in Baton Rouge in the 50's?
Posted on 12/22/16 at 5:55 pm to LakeViewLSU
Nowhere. They didn't become "African American" until the 80's.

That was basically the Livingston Parish of its day. On the outskirts of town and lots of poor white people moved there because they couldn't afford to live in the nice parts of the city.

Because of the Christmas Eve explosion at Exxon. I can't believe it was 27 years ago. I remember that explosion real well and I was 6.

I was 10. I was at my Grandma's house on Melrose off of Florida.
I remember everything shaking and glasses falling off of shelves. There was a big cloud outside. My Grandma thought the Russians were attacking.
