Yep, is there another name for it?
PMAC is what everyone my age calls it (30).

nice! Arguably the best fried chicken during the 70s and 80s in Baton Rouge.
The brown butcher paper meant dark meat and the white butcher paper meant white meat.
Egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches on Fridays in the wax bags stapled.

I never quite got why they always say new bridge and not just the I-10 bridge.
The bridge opened in 1968.
Back then what we had downtown was called the expressway. I-10 was just getting started and didn't go very far. I-110 was first.
You took the Expressway and you crossed the river on the old bridge or the new bridge.

Fun fact, when DiNardo took over that property, there was part of a gate or just a sign that read "HH". He gave this to former head coach Hal Hunter, which made sense. The Hunters lived by my parents, so I remember hearing about this back then.

it had to be either december 1977
I was 5 and still upset about the show that never happened in October '77 (would've been my first concert ever) My folks agreed to let me go with my teenager brother and sister, as we lived in Southdowns and it was gonna be "right there" at the LSU Assembly Center.
Sadly, fate had other plans.
My sister kept our tickets in the sleeve of the "Pronounced Leh-Nerd..." LP...until they were lost in the 2016 flood.
She still cries about losing them.

Kiss did come here in '77. I can't quote any other visits because I only went once but it was in '77.
