What was the old Karate gym in the Millerville shopping center in the 1990s/early 2000s?

Wasn’t there something that happened with the teacher?

That wasn’t the Plauche kid, was it?

I remember seeing the instructor doing classes on tv as a kid but it wasn’t Doucet.

I just remember K&B, Delchamps, Little Caesars, and a video rental store.

We used to hit that Little Caesars after school at Millerville. They had a deal with a little square of pizza and some crazy bread. We were kings!!

That was my era as well. And the snowball stand right there by Riveroaks Elem. Plus summers at the Pennington YMCA. Did we know how good we had it?

That little Caesar’s always had an odd metallic sound coming out the bag. Very slow and cyclical. I always imagined it was a motel hell situation. Incredible coke syrup and crazy bread though.

It was the instructors name followed by Tae Kwon Do, like so and so's Tae Kwon Do. My little brother and I took lessons there but I can't remember the guys name. Then he moved over to Coursey, IIRC.

Yes. One little known part of the Plauche story is that after Doucet was killed in 1984, Doucet rose from the dead and started teaching karate again in the Millerville shopping center in the 1990s and early 2000s.

And it was basically safe to go there. Now you are dodging bullets.
