could've sworn there was a go-kart track on Florida Blvd as well as an RC car track.
quote:right by Loupes. There were also go carts behind the Goony Golf further down the road by Flannery. They were actually the sand go carts. The Honda Odysseys.
Yes. There was a slick track
Goony golf also had a bad arse scary waterslide as well. Remember the Plaster T-rex out front?
I also raced at Loupes. I was a Kyosho team sponsored driver (racing a Kyosho Ultima). Me and ole Freddy Ralphiano went head to head all the time.(He was Team Associated team sponsored with his RC10)

OLd AM radio station on College where the Wal Mart is
WXOK. It was in a quonset hut underneath some big oak trees with cows grazing all around the station. Does anybody remember Essen Lane when it was literally a gravel lane and you had to pull over to the side to let big trucks pass?
What about Dragon Hall Cafeteria on West State Street? I'd go chow down there after swilling beer in the Bayou all afternoon.

I went to a wanna-be 'rave' there one NYE. The next morning, we realized that my friend had a bullet hole in the hood of his truck from one of the falling bullets from guns going off in the area at midnight.
It was also at the height of the GHB craze in BR and I remember them taking people out of that place on stretchers like war casualties, a half dozen people must have fell out that night.

I stayed at the Murat when it was the Ramada for HS prom. No idea why we picked that place.
As for the GHB era. What a great drug ruined by idiots and rapists.
Price skyrocketed(after 2000 law changes) from $20 a 20oz bottle to well over $500. This post was edited on 8/7/15 at 8:20 am

uncle on my dad's side of the family owned fun fair park...all of us cousins had to work there over the summers, running the rides, doing birthday parties in those little rooms under the canopy, cleaning up, taking care of the insane chimpanzee, etc
that place was something else
carney- folk doesnt even begin to describe level of weirdness

I was thinking about that bitch the other day. Seriously wondering what's that Colleen Kane bitch doing these days who wandered around BR taking great pics but badmouthing the city to no end?

fricking candi...
the chimp is literally insane after living in that cage her whole life, with kids poking at her and whatnot
uncle sam used to take her home now and then, she would bite you just out of the blue. i had nightmares about that thing when i was a kid
running the rides was a trip...some burnout ex-con would be the one to show you how to do it, the controls on most of them were held together by duct tape and wire. "here kid, just hold the knob there till the ride stops, hopefully anyway". we'd just turn it on and go get a coke or a hot dog. you'd be surprised how many times those rides were running with nobody at the helm

Godfathers Pizza in same building.

another place that was near and dear, but i doubt anyone remembers it, was my grandfathers grocery store/butcher shop on east blvd right near the 110 overpass...it was called service grocery
in the back he had a real butcher shop, with a huge walk-in where he'd hang whole sides of beef to cut to order. every saturday we'd all get dropped off there, we'd screw around in the store eating stuff off the shelves, help my grandparents close, then stop at pastime to pick up a pizza (my grandfather always made up wait in the car, because it was a bar)...then 630am mass at st agnes and back to their house for sunday spaghetti
the neighborhood around the store was always sketchy, and got worse and worse. after the store got broken into a few times, he retired and sold it to a vietnamese family. after he died, we found out that all that time he owned the store, after he would close, he let the vietnamese family come in, and they slept in the store because they didnt have a place to live...
