Had a pool table at home, but enjoyed the arcades.

Arcade in the early 80's. Spank bank...I mean, movie rentals in the mid 80's. From 85 on I have been distracted by the ladies.

The LSU Union was the place to be when we were too young to get into bars. Pool, bowling, video games. Dixie cup beer if you could trick the bartender, cheap cigs and you could smoke and shoot pool.

It's amazing how things have changed.

Early 90’s skating rink
& bowling alley

Mid 90’s ivory palace in Mandeville, I think it’s a dollar general now.

Of course renting movies was great but didn’t really hangout there more then 20 mins
