Anybody remember the Warehouse? One on Jefferson near Airline but the original was on Greenwell

And who remembers Schwegmann's? I don't mean the store on Siegen, I mean the sign on the vacant lot at Perkins and bluebonnet saying one was going to be built there. That sign must've been up 10 years...

Remember both. The one on Greenwell was next to a pool hall and the first place I went as a "man" to a barbershop...a real barbershop...was in that "center". Across from a cemetery iirc.

My mother waited years for that thing to be built and it never happened. She retired from LSU waiting for it

It Sure was. It stood where CVS at Perkins Rowe is now. Future HOME Of Schwegmann's. It was a big arse yellow sign. Not like a normal Lamar but home-made big arse sign. Our bus passed it every day.
