re: New Orleans in the past

Is that Joe Burrow’s great great grandfather on the top picture on the balcony with his arms around the two ladies?

Oh I think you know what happened. Just say it.

Then you're both ignorant.

New Orleans was always... Different in that regard.

This thread reminds me of how poor my family was only three generations ago.

When those balls were going on, my great grandfathers were struggling to feed 8,11,6,9 kids respectively. Wild to think about. They had no running water.

Not even ten years later, when the country was starving... They started doing alright.

I know, Baw. The predecessor was Lucky Chien. They did not use all of the advertising gimmicks, or gaudy colors.

I think Blaine Kern Sr's father started it.

You're a poverty stricken man's TulaneLSU.

Those that were farming and eating deer, rabbit, seafood, and wild duck before the depression continued to be able to eat. They had to work where they could and try and trade for flour, tobacco, and coffee.

A lot of LA that was hidden from the rest of the world was a pretty happy place.

Don't let TulaneLSU's pleasant demeanor fool you.

He will straight-up execute you and everyone you have ever loved and anal-rape your corpse.

You should edit before he sees this.

Somebody please explain to me why there’s not a single pot hole in any of those streets in the photos? I thought it was impossible to keep smooth and intact streets in New Orleans due to the soil conditions.
