Price Leblanc started out selling Rambler automobiles in the BR area.
If you consider St. Gabriel the BR area sure. His Rambler dealership was at the corner of HWY 30 and HWY 74 what is now a old car detailing shop, and a storage area for old gate valves. His former home just across Hwy 74 from the old dealership where he lived until his passing. Price went into business in the mid sixties with A.K. Durnin to form Price A.K. Chrysler Plymouth on Florida Blvd. between Wooddale, and Lobdell. Then he moved to the present location selling Toyota, and expanded to other brands.

Jeezus. What the hell?
Can't even think of structures right there. You just jogged my memory though. There was a heavy metal teen club. Was mosh pit place on Highland Road closer to the Bengal north of Campus. Forget the name of it.
