They have an annual festival in Morganza now celebrating the movie. It draws quite a crowd of mostly bikers.
Not only do they wish the building was still there, they actually built a fake facade of the front of the cafe so people can take pictures and selfies.

It’s not an annual festival.
It happened once, pre-covid.

It's interesting to me that you cared about this and yet you were wrong. What sort of a man has strongly held but incorrect opinions about festivals?

No need to get crabby. I wasn’t trying to be a dick, but correct false information.
The first festival was in 2019. They planned a second one for 2021, but I’m not sure it ever actually happened. You can find a Facebook post announcing it in July 2021 using pictures from the 2019 event, but nothing from any 2021 event actually taking place. If it did, it was a whimper compared to the first.
It’s still not an annual event.
The reason I’m interested at all is because I took my dad to the first one as he is a huge fan of the movie.

Some of the girls in that scene were besties of my mother. I’m pretty sure my grandmother worked in the cafe in the ‘40’s.
I really wish it had been preserved.

I rag on Millennials but I see them as little brothers. Boomers like older brothers. All uniquely American.

It was in horrible shape even when they filmed the movie.

Morganza is pretty run down. That whole stretch of LA 1 from the bridge in Simmesport to just outside New Roads is really depressing.
Yeah Pointe Coupee in general is pretty depressing if you aren’t in New Roads, Ventress, or the False River area.
Morganza has lost an indie grocery, a lumber yard, and a couple of restaurants in the last 20 years. The dirty little secret is that sugar cane isn’t a really good job creator anymore and is turning into more of an exploitative force.

that entire area between I-49, formerly known as Hwy 167 and La 415 has always seemed otherworldly to me, been riding or driving it all my life, always wondered why people are there, how do they survive, etc.?

If you can dodge the speed traps there is some good boudin around Port Barre.

You would be surprised to see the number of people who go to the crash site memorial on the anniversary date of the crash of Lynard Skinner band plane in Mississippi . I have a contractor friend from New Orleans that goes every year and he says it grows more each year.
