That section of Sherwood between I-12 and Old Hammond was a wonderful area of BR commerce in the 80s. Looks like Beirut now

I always enjoyed driving North on Florida Blvd at night to see some sketch crap. Went to an old bar out there once. Weird vibe. No street lights.

Texas Club is the only thing I remember being on Florida we ever went to. It was where all my friends who didn’t go to college hung out when they went to BR.

I remember visiting the house of a friend's brother in Broadmoor when I was at LSU c. '88. I thought I was in Beverly Hills.

It’s awful how rundown it looks these days. It was looking rough a decade ago but it has exponentially gotten more rundown the past couple of years.

Coursey and Jones Creek area are also showing their age and look rundown

Came to Baton Rouge around 1980 for a h.s. buddy's wedding to a gal who grew up in Broadmoor, we attended a few parties given by friends of her family for two nights before the bachelor party. One was at the home of the owner of the Ford dealership and lived on Sherwood, definitely not poor.

Ranch style brick homes were all the rage in the 50's and 60's.
