Why okra in gumbo became a thing
Because it grows like a weed in Louisiana and it’s fricking delicious.

From Wikipedia Gumbo
Gumbo: "The dish was likely named after one of its two main ingredients, okra[2] or filé."
Etymology
The name of the dish comes most likely from Africa by way of Louisiana French. Scholars and chefs have offered various explanations for the etymology of the word "gumbo". The dish was likely named after one of its two main ingredients, okra[2] or filé. In the Niger–Congo languages spoken by many enslaved people from West Africa, the vegetable okra was known as ki ngombo or quingombo; the word is akin to the Umbundu ochinggômbo and the Tshiluba chinggômbô "okra". In the language of the native Choctaw people, filé, or ground sassafras leaves, is called kombo.[3][4][5] Even today, in the Central African Republic, okra is often referred to as gombo.

Listening to a podcast about the unsolved murder of Margaret Coon in 1987.
That lady was 100% killed by the crazy neighbor lady.

What happened to the PVC pipe in Tiger Stadium.
Still there, they painted it several years back in an attempt to match the underside of the upper deck
You can still see it in all it's original intended glory on google maps.

In this image you can see that it's been painted
