No, this was a small shop. I bought the Zork there as well as a bunch of Elephant brand floppy disks. I'll have to do some more research.

Many early mornings spent waiting outside of Maison Blanche waiting for the ticket office to open to get concert tickets. Yes, I am dating myself with that one. Coincidentally, I worked at Celebration Station in the early 90’s and we always saw a surge in teen customers on Fri/Sat nights when Cortana closed.

Chelseas for sure with our group. They served us alcohol before we were 18. I worked at Godchauxs in the summers in high school. That's when I figured out I wanted nothing to do with the public.

Once great

Absolutely. Every time I went I would see letter jackets from schools all over the state. It was a legit cool place to be.

Toys By Roy. Once it closed started the downfall.

Space Port

Orange Julius

Mama Brava

Record Stores

Mom would just let me go free while she was shopping but don't dare page her over the intercom. That was my arse.
