Great. More future defaulters moving in. And the non-defaulters should pay for the infrastructure making their neighborhoods trailer park equivalents.

Little down the road but we lived on ponderosa during college and I worked at Tonys Tavern and partied there ALOT. We used to have some good times in there. Sad they just tore it down.


I grew up a couple houses down from the mobil station. I was young but I still remember Tony's donuts. We would go to the mobil (aka Safias) to get gyros and shawarmas all the time too.

We lived at the townhouses one the corner of old Hammond and ponderosa. My dad still lives there! Spent a lot of time and money at the “Mabile” as well. Was nice to have that in college right across the street.

If you were parking back there in the early to mid 90's, then you and I are old drinking buddies.

It was pretty good haunted house for the time. Always a highlight of the Halloween season and the WFMF "World's Largest Jambox" would always make an appearance.

Wish Baton Rouge had a "tamer" haunted house that I could bring the kids to. 13th Gate is a little extreme for the kiddos

Central Private '92, but I was always around Bellaire and Central HS kids.

Were you one of the Planchet/Thibodeaux Road kids back there with the Rispone's and Gallino's?

I know one of the Rispone's. He went to Redemptorist. One of my good buddies lived right near the train trestle so we were always back there.
