Children of Metry from the 70s & 80s

I lived right off West End late 80s. Grew up playing at Lakeview with Pontiff.

Best time was playing in the neutral ground right there on West End.

The only baseball team I really remember playing on was David Clay's Plumbing service was the sponsor LOL. Only reason I remember that so vivid, my grandfather was a plumber and had his own service. So he and Clay knew each other.

Good call, I can't believe I forgot about that place.

Felt my first pair of tits at that movie theatre.

Man we lived at the Lake growing up.

Many a slop football game on the levee after it rained.

Used to dip net the canal on W Esplanade too and catch little red ear turtles.

The Fun Arcade on Vets near the old Dorignac's.

Cena Mall movie theatre.

House of Lee.

There was a place that had a huge indoor slotcar race track. I can't remember where that was but it was pretty impressive.

I lived at Fun Arcade.

Sena Mall. I remember seeing Crocodile Dundee2 there.

The Lakeside Cinema with Rocky Horror was the shittiest theater.

The trampoline place was a death trap

Poncho's, Rax Restaurant, McKenzie's. Concerts at The Warehouse.

Johnny Bright and Girard here.

Remember the Super Popeyes on Vets by Cleary?

Airline Park/Mike Miley here.
My grandparents lived in the neighborhood behind Dorignacs so I spent every Sunday at the Fun Arcade. Found something like 50 credits on the Tempest game one day.
The Roy Rogers at the corner of Oaklawn and Vets.
I do remember the water slide mentioned above, there was also a skate board park, but I think it may have been on West Napoleon.
Pied Piper pizza (I think that was the name).
