My grandparents lived on corner of Robertson/Greenwell St
Right by the little canal bridge you could walk over? And there was a little church there.
We played over in that area there all the time as kids. Hung out underneath/side of the footbridge as well. My first kiss was actually underneath that little footbridge

You might remember my uncle. Everyone in the area new him. He was very very slow mentally and was always walking the streets in the area looking for odd end jobs.

I don't remember that as a kid. But I'm sure my mom would have known of him. Like I said...the house I grew up in was the house she actually grew up in. My mom and dad bought the house from my grandparents for cheap before they moved to St Francisville.

Same neighborhood my parents need to downsize too. The house next to them just sold to a developer so my dad can quit cutting the grass from the abandoned house.

Yes. Mine was a neighborhood that got built in the late 70’s and early 80’s oil boom. Then after the price of oil tanked, lots of people either sold and moved or got foreclosed on and home values dropped. Trash moved in and neighborhood went to shite. We moved out when I was about 12. I remember them eventually firing the first realtor and it taking a year on the market to finally sell and them mentioning taking a decent sized loss just to get out of there. Neighborhood looked like a shithole last time I passed thru the area years ago

Not just a neighborhood but the town I grew up in has went speeding downhill...Bogalusa. It's been a dump for a while now.

I grew up in Bogalusa in the 40s and 50s. My grandparents lived in a nice blue-collar neighborhood. Small houses - my grandparents home could be called a shotgun style. Everybody owned their homes and kept up their yards.
Went through that area recently - many houses boarded up, many now crack houses. Cars parked in the front yards. Crime and drugs rampant in that neighborhood now.
Very sad.

I cannot understand why this changed. So many people now do not take care of their property.

Moved a LOT as a kid-- 11 different locations up 'till I went away to college.
A year ago, I did a Google maps street view thing where I got pictures of ALL of the places I lived over the years. I've also driven around and looked at most of them.
The only one that REALLY improved in looks and neighborhood was the rented double my parents lived in when I was born, on Willow Street in uptown New Orleans right next to Ursuline High School.
A couple of the Metairie houses, and ones is Pearl and Starkville MS are about the same.
The rest-- houses in Metairie and Mississippi, and the short times we lived in apartments-- have all gone downhill.
This 2011 event happened next door to the house I lived in 1974 to 1987:

The lavesperes were right there. Ms Kathy passed away from cancer. Sweet sweet lady.

My parents dont even have a housekey. They went on a vacation several years ago, and since they were going to be gone for six weeks they wanted to lock the doors, but they couldn't because they didn't have a key.

Reminds me of that sopranos scene where Tony takes Anthony to his childhood neighborhood
