Did you dance to the John Pela show?
Oh, hell no. I'm about as white as white can be and possess 2 left feet when it comes to dancing.
I do remember that show though and it was originally called "Saturday Hop" before they changed it to "The John Pela Show". I did watch it from time to time only because he had several gals that were regulars that were feature dancers and they all wore short, tight miniskirts, form fitting tops and go-go boots as their costume and were all damn fine looking young ladies.
"Saturday Hop", "The John Pela Show", "American Bandstand", "Soul-Train" all were regular TV dance shows for young people back then.

Thanksgiving? What's that?
According to Starbucks, SiriusXM and most advertising, it's Christmas Season (or, "Holiday" Season for the heretics).

Wagon train arrives in Canon City, Colorado (1878)
Notice how wide the street is -- H'wood changed this for western movies, as narrower streets photograph better.

Yep Schwegmanns was great and another NOLA-based supermarket is gone.

That looks like the Canal Villere that was on Vets and Elmeer across from the Sena Mall theater.

Going to the show in 1947.
And yes, I'd do it for Randolph Scott.

Dalton Theatre
3300 Dalton Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70805.
Located at Acadian Thruway. It was still open in 1981, but had closed by 1984.
I was in BR by 1980 and old enough to go to movies, but I have no memory of this place at all. Not driving past it, or even hearing about it.

I remember the Dalton Theater. I may have driven past it, but I am certain I never went inside.

Look at the map. It's unlikely you'd have gone near Choctaw to go to the movies when there were:
Cortana Theater
Bon Marche Twin
United Artists 8 (also Bon Marche)
Broadmoor Theater

Some of my favorite memories were taking the street car with my Paw Paw to the Canal Villere at S. Carrollton and Claiborne for groceries for dinner. More times than not he’d step into the K and B for their house labeled bourbon.

Early 70's my mom would wrangle me to go with her to the Canal Villere on Freret street.. Right across from Frank's steakhouse.. I swear the manger looked like sergeant Carter from Gomer Pyle.. I was just a little kid and thought that place was huge... The building is still there.. She quit going there when the neighborhood was declining.. I think she would go to the Winn Dixie on Prytania after that...

This would have been early 80s for me. I don’t recall a Winn Dixie on Prytania. But we were living in Baton Rouge at the time and I was under 10 years old, so there was no need for me to know about a grocery store on Prytania
