Howard's Dept Store where old Robichaux furniture was. Burger Chef at the corner of Johnston and Camellia. Big Al's Speakeasy now Pete's. Swensen's Ice Cream and Kroger on Arnould and Johnston. Yankee Doodle rest. was next to La Fonda's now part of Asbury Church. What was the toy store in the La Promenade Mall ? Sang Lee Tae Kwon Do was the King back then. Woolworth where the old Academy now Incredible Pizza Co is. Those were the days !!!

We use to have one in franklin back in the day until a disgruntled employee torched the place. I loved the burgers there as a kid.

I just noticed the other day that AVI kid has gotten older. You know the next to the Wal Mart kid.
Mr. Cooks had the best sausage biscuits. Dad used to take us there sunday mornings we'd get the biscuits and chocolate milk then go rolling down the hills(they seemed big when you were a kid in flatlands Lafayette) in the park next to the old dollar cinema.

yeah speed skating at RC
I had a b-day party at HofC and my aunt was skating and fell and broke her arm. The next year my cousin (my aunt's grand daughter) had a party there and her mother fell and broke her arm there too
