Y'all know the story about why PYC had to be remodeled? Not the inside, obviously. The pool area..

No idea. My kin ain't yacht club types.

Watch it Mister. That is where I got to Second Base the first time. That place is a national monument.

Too bad it's simply become a suburb/bedroom community/refugee camp for folks fleeing New Orleans and the surrounding area.

Amen brother. I can remember when going to Sonic was a big deal, hell I can remember when most of the streets in Mandeville were covered in oyster shells. I understand the White Flight, but the extent of the sprawl has really changed the vibe of West St Tammany. 190 is like Vets in Metairie.

Is this the one where you say there is a body buried under the pool?

What year did the trace open up? I think it was like 94/95. It use to be train tracks.

The trace?

Are you talking about the trail behind the primary school and state school area?

Do you know the Strains?

My wife's friend from Covington married a dude that is a Strain. They have a big house over off Lee Road. I think he is in some kind of waste disposal business. They throw a hell of a Labor Day party btw.

How rich would the Sharps be if they sold their land?

Where is the Sharps land and how large of a tract is it?

I know the Sharps go way back to the early settlers of St. Tammany. I didn't realize some of those large land grants had made it through multiple generations without being broken up and sold off.
