there was a trailer-trash girl who was SMOKING HOT who you could always find playing Ladybug arcade game at the Big Star a block away who lived in T&C apartments.

i used to sit there and salivate watching her play wearing her daisy duke shorts and try to make as much small talk as i could. she would sign her high score (she had most of the top 10) as DAWN! (with the exclamation mark)

Only if you think the best meal one could ever eat was fried clams at the Howard Johnson by the Civic Center.

The fountains of the Civic Center were unbelievable to me.

i feel you. defender was the only one i invested all my quarters in getting to that level.

honorable mention to tempest, but only because we figured out if you tuned the CB radio in your car in the parking lot to a certain frequency, 38 credits would show up on tempest.

we spent many an afternoon in the gene cox parking lot tuning the CB until we hit the jackpot.



eta no mention of this on the webs or wikipedia. damn i hate when knowledge is lost.

If there's a video of this, please post. Anyone who lived in Monroe around 2000-2003 will remember these commercials.

The TV commercial was for some local places rims. They'd play shitty house music and they'd have these hoochies in bikinis kinda dancing to it. They'd have their legs spread and between their legs were the rims of the car.

To the beat, they'd point to the rims but it looked like they were pointing to their crotch. The commercial was so bad it's comical.

If anyone remembers this or has a link to it, please share.

glad to see i'm not the only person left on the planet who knows this.


The only reason I know is that my grandmother was the head RN at St. Francis for about 30 years. She said they used it in buckets at the hospital and every Pediatrician in Monroe used it too and if they were ever out, he would just come in and whip out another batch. Sadly, he never put a patent on the formula.

I am also good friends with his grandson. I have known him since we were at Lexington and I have never asked him about the fortune that his family missed out on. I am sure they are butthurt about it, literally.

That's the smell of money.

That phrase was actually used for driving through Bastrop, but that place closed.

Wasn't he the one that cursed like a sailor? i remember a guy walking up to the ER door at Glenwood throwing out hells and damns (in the 60's) and smoking a cigarette, and mom telling that was just Dr. Talbot.

then there was obanion's pool hall in west monroe, and screaming "rack shelby" when your game was over. Mr. Hill was the manager. we called him "fossil dick"

That is actually my buddies name. I never met his grand-dad, the doctor. Sounds like he was a character. I knew he lived over by Neville.
