you know more than me about it.. I just hear things and most probably aren't true, etc.

Kelly's and Rays both have great food, but the original plate lunch destination was Benny's

Joes Sandwich Shop still has the best burger. I lived there for about 20 years. I know a bunch of Lafleur from Prarie Rhonde. That city has gone to crap. I was driving on Railroad Avenue the other day. I had no idea why. Policeman said I didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign. He was full of bs. I didn't get a ticket if that says anything.

So I think we've come to the conclusion that Opelousas has good food and thats it.

I was upset that Cafe Acadiana closed. I loved their crab platter, it was crab augratin, Stuffed crab, and a whole bunch of other stuff for maybe 13-15 bucks. It would be 30 here in houston.

I know project will appreciate this but its sad that Credeur's had to close(at least as a sports store), I know its been closed a while but I had a bunch of great memories as a kid and looking at all the sports gear. Everything was always marked super high and then discounted to normal prices

Loved going to Credeur's to get my name printed on the back of my baseball jersey for summer ball.

It really is depressing to see what has become of that town. I only go back once or twice a year to see my parents.

I didn't even know this happened. I liked the Nike wallpaper they had throughout the store with the pictures of Bo Jackson in various sports gear from the "Bo Knows" campaign. It was up way longer than either of Bo Jacksons professional careers.

I had a coach who picked me for like 5 years in a row. I wonder if they still have those leagues anymore? I know Dupre Park has a good program.

Dupre Park is well past my time.

I wonder if Poochie's is still open. Went to school a few years with one of the sons of the owner.

I played for Carmen's Beauty Supply one year. It was a hair salon for black women.

Hell, Hoyt's always had a good team. I was on the Dolphins for Sertoma football. I can't remember how many years we went undefeated.

Probably a few years before. Most of the guys I played with ended up playing at Southern and Grambling.
