Yes. It was next to the post office. Whats funny is that on my 18th birthday, I got tore down drinking Long Island ice tea at Sals. Now my 22 year old son goes there. Probably the longest running bar in Monroe or West Monroe.

Good times there for sure...the Office was another place for a while...most seem like they've come and gone, but Sals is hanging in there.

Bought my first 8 pack of Ponies at Archies. I lived in Fairbanks when I was in high school at Sterlington. I know exactly where Swayback is. Matter of fact, I saved it from burning on my way to work one morning. I considered myself a national hero!

Good memory there TG. Lea Joyner was pastor at Southside U.M. Church on south 4th street. The church was relocated to the Old Sterlington Rd. and is now named in her memory. I was a member of the church from about '64 until I left Monroe in '83.
The eerie thing for me about her murder was that I was getting married two months later and had asked Lea to perform the ceremony and she gladly accepted. I was living in Little Rock at the time. The kid that murdered her, found two miles from where I lived in L.R. His own uncle turned him in.

Yeah, that was a huge tragedy for Monroe...if I recall correctly, wasn't she found out near Black Bayou Lake? Very senseless killing if there ever was one....

Rode through Moon Lake a few weeks ago..didn't recognize it from all the work that had been done..looks real nice compared to what it used to look like...

I liked it just the way it was...overgrown and dirty. Had a little character. Glad they cleaned it up though.
