Ray sold it. New owners could not carry on.

The only connection I have to Opelousas is going out there. Saw Percy Sledge at the old Delta theater, went to that bar that used to be an auction barn a few times, went with a friend pick up some coke at the whorehouse bar. Most of the time when we went that direction we would go at that little bar in Lawtell. I would also get a pork chop sandwich at that store at the "Y" every time I was in the area, thing was so good.

I've been to Mamas fried chicken. Does that count as family?


Maybe, but the Palace Cafe definitely should.

He doesn’t live in downtown Opelousas, has a nice place outside city limits.

Family on my dad's side in Opelousas. As kids it was a cool town. (60's & 70's) We used to go to the park all day then to the movie at night. Great times. Went to an aunt's funeral few years ago. Place is a dump. My lord what happened? So depressing.

Didn’t we post about this in another thread a few years back? Her dad taught at OC. I think you know her kids.

ETA: or I could be thinking of someone else.
