I love the old pictures of Donaldsonville, Port Allen, Baton Rouge, Plaquemine, and New Roads. They used to all be small river towns with their own little industries and economies.
It always fascinated me how the massive Standard Oil (Exxon) operation and LSU set the little town of Baton Rouge apart from the others, and allowed it to grow into a city whose metro area now encompasses the small towns of Plaquemine, New Roads, Donaldsonville, Port Allen, etc.
These two are of Main Street in New Roads, LA in the 1940s.
This is Maggio’s showroom in the 1950s, and I think that’s an Oldsmobile. The dealer is still in the same building today, selling a lot of new GMC’s and Buicks.

Most towns were like this until the 70's or so. Probably started earlier with the interstates.
They all had their own lumber mill, etc. No big box stores. I really miss those times, but love looking at old photos.

Later Years and Death ('23-'24)
"The Burrow" ('23)
"Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk" ('24)
"On a vacation in '23 to the Baltic, Kafka met Dora Diamant, a 25-year-old Jewish kindergarten teacher. In late '23 until early '24, Kafka lived with her in Berlin, fleeing the influence of his family in order to concentrate on his writing. However, his tuberculosis rapidly worsened in March of '24 and he returned to Prague. Dora and his sister Ottla cared for him as his health worsened, until he moved to a sanatorium near Vienna.
Kafka died two months later. The cause of death was likely starvation. His tuberculosis was centered around his throat and this made it simply too painful to eat; it comes as little coincidence that Kafka was editing “A Hunger Artist” (Ein Hungerkünstler) on his deathbed. His body was brought back to Prague and he was buried in June '24 at the New Jewish Cemetery, where his parents were also buried."
I can see the future and it ain't particularly good for at least one of us.
I want to buy you Lunch now as a thank you while I can think that you can actually enjoy it....
