re: Donaldsonville Day on the OT (History Thread)

Bellina's and Graffeo's Grocery

Dims bakery was good, but the family had a horrific tragedy when most of the family was killed on railroad tracks in Iberville Parish.

I hate that place. I taught school there for eighteen years. That town thinks they know your business and starts rumors about you. I lived in BR, so those idiots did not know anything about me or my fellow coworkers who weren't from that town. When I left that place back in 1988, I swore that D'ville will never see my arse ever again. That place has some of the most ignorant people in AP. You couldn't teach them, because once they failed, the momma would attack you. I would ask momma where her arse was during the entire year, because I kept copies of the tests her child failed besides the interim reports that were sent home. That town can't separate politics from education. How would you like your principal to be a member of the city council and he disses you for a parent so he could get their vote. Wilbert Huey is the guy that I'm talking about. He's deceased now and I never realized how much of a bigot he was.

Y0u would think that the small towns would grow up. I've seen many decent girls put on the block and they never did a damn thing. The black girls would jump on the other black girls who had the good hair. Stacey Barns was tormebted for herbeauty and hair.

it's not what it once was. kids moved across the river, parents pass away, and property gets sold cheap, you know what happens then.
