BR for a funeral - 3 years gone

I went to my Uncle's funeral at St. Gerard on Thursday. NBR was bad when I moved out in 1998, but the flood has added so many vandalized homes. North of FL Blvd. is really sad. It has been for a long time, but it was shocking. It was good to eat amazing food again and see friends, but BR needs a cleansing. With that being said, saw some amazing homes in P-ville.
Also, does anyone know the history of the home at Lobdell and Goodwood? Used to be a giant home hidden by woods off of Government St. but visible on Goodwood by the main library. The woods are now gone and there looks to be a subdivision being built around it. Does the house have some history? It is beautiful.

Thanks Rouge, the matriarch of the family, my 91 yr old g'ma wasn't there for the 2 hr visitation, she wasn't feeling well. She arrived for the funeral mass, ditched her walker and the people who were coddling her, this stoic woman, strode up to the the casket, and silently weeped. It was heartbreaking. He died suddenly, heart attack at 63, zero vices, 45 years at his job, loved his family, worked out. Sad...
And I was a pallbearer for the 2nd time in my life. Small family.

Is it a big white house that had a small sign out from that said some Colonel lived there?

I kind of thought it would be a clubhouse, the center of the neighborhood. Thanks for the info!

Goodwood plantation home. The family sold the land and home to a pile of shite developer who has completely fricked the property to turn it into a ultra close cookie cutter neighborhood with houses 5 feet off each other. Converting the beautiful home into a "clubhouse"
It's fricking blasphemous and the pile of shite in charge should be castrated.

Inside of St Gerard still look the same?
Always loved all the stained glass windows in there.

I may buy a house there.

NBR is like a third world country. There's been a lot of development in St George and downtown in the past 5-6 years. Anywhere north of Florida Blvd is rough

Agreed. It’s a beautiful church. It’s the church I grew up going to for holidays (wasn’t close enough for regular mass), and then I went to Redemptorist so we had weekly school mass there.

St. Gerard is like a time capsule. I did the readings in 1st grade in that church. Identical. They removed a cpl of confessional booths. Have a St. Charles Barrameo flag. Sad to see parishes falling. That neighborhood was so different. My cousin's best friend is a Pizzalotto, Tony's Seafood.

Used to be a plantation house back in the good old days.

I went to school with most of the Pizzalotto's in Central. That area has been gone for a long time. I remember going to the Piccadilly in Delmont Village with my grandparents as a kid. The only reason to go there now is Tony's.

Well you know where I grew up at. Went to St Gerard mostly Christmas and Easter. But my best friend down the street from me was a Lambert (Lambert's heating and air conditioning) so her and a few of her cousins went to school at St Gerard. From what I remember as a kid, the Lambert family and Pizzalotto family were friends.
Like LL said...it really is a beautiful church. But even in the 80s the area around it was going downhill. My next door neighbor had her car stolen from the church parking lot one Sunday while she was in mass with her young daughter....and this happened like the mid 80s.

Liz how did you do during Irma? I seem to remember you were the one hunkering down.
Sorry for your loss.
