St bernard is really remarkable for how *physically* close it is to NO but how *mentally* far. In most cities that would be an inner ring suburb completely indistinguishable from any of the other areas "just outside of town." But somewhere like violet may as well be a different planet from Metairie

There’s nothing there. It got leveled by Katrina and is now just an extension of the 9th ward.

Also, I had high hopes for Rocky and Carlo’s but it was terrible. Just mushy slop that they called gumbo. Quite an embarrassment, but I guess that’s all they have there?

If you went to Rocky’s and didn’t get the Mac and cheese with veal, all covered in the red gravy, then you didn’t really go to Rocky’s.

It used to be heavenly.
It’s a different place post-Katrina.
I’m glad I got to grow up there in the ‘70s/‘80s.

I knew a girl that lived there.

She's dead now.
